The Disappearance of the Unwanted Individual: A Comparison of Ehrenreich and Foucault.
This paper shall compare and contrast the book "Nickled and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich and the work "Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison" by Michael Foucault. This paper shall compare and contrast the theme of "disappearance" within these two works, where both Foucault and Ehrenreich suggest that modern society conspires to remove the significance of the unwanted individual. For Foucault, this is the prisoner, and for Ehrenreich this is the female working class individual. 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
