Abstract

As many authors have spent novels analyzing, we are not alone in constructing ourselves. In his essay "Postscripts on Societal Control," Deleuze aptly states "control is not a closed system." In this world of ever-growing commodities and technological advances, it is becoming increasingly apparent how invasive control is; scientists are quickly approaching ways to biochemically engineer humans, and Michel Foucault has made famous his arguments regarding the panoptical idea that society is controlled by feeling the presence of constant surveillance, whether it be from a god or a government. But what happens when control is so slippery that we are no longer granted the creative, artistic freedom we were taught made us individuals? When even our supposedly god-given right for personal expression is limited by power structures that are often sightless, tasteless, and utterly senseless, one can't help but question if we have any rights that aren't bound to the restrictions unknowingly set for us.
