Surveiller et punir
Michel Foucault (1926–1984), although sometimes considered close to structuralism, quickly drew apart from this movement, developing a specific approach to semiology and history which he dubbed "archeology." His influence is broad-ranging, and his work includes books such as "Madness and Civilization" (1961), "The Order of Things" (1966), "Discipline and Punish: The Birth of Prison" (1975) or "The History of Sexuality".
