Technologies of the Self — Why Modern Identity Requires Endless Self-Confession
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Michel Foucault
This episode explores Technologies of the Self by Michel Foucault as a systems-level analysis of how institutional systems shaped modern identity through confession, introspection, and self-surveillance.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or isolated beliefs, the episode shows how technologies of the self evolved into durable systems linking subjectivity, obedience, truth-telling, and institutional authority.
