In the “Docile bodies” chapter of Discipline and Punish, Foucault asserts that “in every society, the body [is] in the grip of very strict powers, which imposed upon it constraints, prohibitions or obligations” (136). What “constraints, prohibitions or obligations” are “imposed upon” bodies in the 21st century? How are these “constraints, prohibitions or obligations” different from or similar to the ones Foucault describes in this chapter?

Note: make sure to find one relevant article to back-up your example of how we produce (or don’t produce) “docile bodies” in the present.
