My copy of "Power/Knowledge" lists all of the original sources at the
beginning, p. x. 'The eye of power' is listed as:
'L'Oeil du Pouvoir', published as a preface to Jeremy Bentham, Le
Panoptique (Paris, Belfond, 1977). This comprises a facsimile of the
French version (Paris, 1791) and a translation of the first part of the
English version (Dublin and London) of Bentham's Panopticon, together
with a pstface by Michelle Perrot on Bentham anf the Panopticon which
has a useful bibliography. Michelle Perrot's works include Les ouvriers
en greve (1974). Te full English version of Bentham's text is contained
in Volume IV of the Browning edition of his works (Edinburgh 1838-43;
Russel & Russel, New York, 1971).
