Quote One“[T]he body is . . . directly involved in a political field; power relations have an immediate hold upon it; they invest it, mark it, train it, torture it, force it to carry out tasks, to perform ceremonies, to emit signs.” (25)
- Political Field or as I would think of it as a person in power that have a hold on servants that they use for labor, train them, torture them, claim their "body".
Political field- owner
the body- slave
they invest, torture, train, force to carry out tasks etc.
Quote Two“[I]t is largely as a force of production that the body is invested with relations of power and domination; but, on the other hand, its constitution as labour power is possible only if it is caught up in a system of subjection . . . the body becomes a useful force only if it is both a productive body and a subjected body.” (26)
-body is forced of production to body is useful if it is both subjected and productive.
Subjected=Force
Force=Production
Production+Subjected=Usefulness
“In the darkest region of the political field the condemned man represents the symmetrical , inverted figure of the king.” (29)
"condemned man represents the symmetrical, inverted figure of the king." so everyone is human and they all have something in common.
