In Discipline and Punish Foucault distinguishes two registers of the modern machine- body: the “anatomico-metaphysical” and the “technico-political.”
Drawing on the readings covered in class (Descartes, Leder, Schiebinger, Foucault) give an account of each of these registers. Given your account, do you think they can or should be ultimately understood as separate?
