Control and the Novel : Dave Eggers and Disciplinary Form

• This essay interrogates interrelations between the novel form and disciplinary power. Investigating debates regarding shifts between discipline and control as they have been delineated by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, it explores how such shifts might affect the novel but also how literary portrayals of these changing dispositifs, such as those in Dave Eggers's novels The Circle and Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? may assist in the theoretical labor of grasping changing modes of power.
