Description
Khaled Fahmy’s analysis of conscription and forced labor in Mehmet ‘Ali’s Egypt examines how institutions of the modern state developed in Egypt in the first half of the 19th century. This article also explains how some of the forms of modern state power–sovereign power, disciplinary power, and biopower–that Michel Foucault identified in his studies of the modern state began to take shape in Egypt. FIRST, please identify one example each of an institution or practice that reflects (a) sovereign power, (b) disciplinary power, and (c) biopower in Mehmet ‘Ali’s Egypt. (This can be a bullet point list, but please include a sentence or two explaining why you think this is an example of the type of power you’re saying it reflects.) THEN, please identify one example each of an institution or practice that reflects (a) sovereign power, (b) disciplinary power, and (c) biopower in the present moment. Again, this can be a bullet point list, but please explain each example in a couple of sentences. [This is a long prompt but a short assignment; in the end, I’m looking for a bullet point list with three examples from Fahmy and three examples from the present, each of which you can explain in a sentence or two.] Please make sure that you aren’t so harsh on grammer. write it as if you are a senior in high school. please make sure you read it and anser the prompt.
