Michel Foucault

disciplinary power

is the idea that once we fix on object by naming we have already circumscribed the space and dimensions of our object of study.

once we know (or analytically 'fix' by naming) that we are writing about violence, migration, the body, memory, and so forth, we have already circumscribed the space and dimensions of our object of study we know what we are talking about prematurely. But we can also be sure that our object of study will always exceed its analytic circumscription, especially under conditions of postmodemity' (marcus 1994:')
