As A Power from (Open) Physical Anatomy to Social Anatomy: The Form- Changing Story of the Power on the Human BodyAs A Power from (Open) Physical Anatomy to Social Anatomy: The Form- Changing Story of the Power on the Human Body

In the context of Foucault’s statement about power, the aim of this research is to trace how the physical and social anatomy play a role in transforming people into obedient persons. In this framework, it is focused on the question of which human emotions that power mechanisms have built mental background turn people into obedience. Another focal point of this research is to consider how the power in need of concealing itself can achieve its goal of concealing itself successfully. The data were collected through interviews with nine psychiatrist. The data indicate that “physical anatomy” through fear and embarrasment, “social anatomy” through favour, popularity and exlusion feellings have important functions as effective instruments of power. Another finding is that science plays an active role in concealing itself and that by social anatomy, power is both augmenting the domain of individual domination and achieving a more subtle skill in concealing itself
