“Harry, stop!” you whined. You were sitting on the comfortable couch, hiding your face with your sweater paws. You had been binge-watching a random show on Netflix in the living room until Harry came back from his walk. “Oh, come on, love. You look so undeniable cute in my jumper,” your boyfriend explained, “I need to capture that.” You blushed at the compliment, still covering your face. “Nooooo,” you begged, “Go away with your camera.” Harry chuckled, while he heart rate was picking up speed. If you only knew what effect you had on him. “Babe, you are my muse,” your boyfriend spoke up again. You shook your head with your face still buried in your sweater paws. Harry put his camera on the coffee table. He then approached you to pull your hands off your face. “Hey, don't hide from me,” he told you, before planting a kiss on your forehead.

Harry crouched down, taking hold of your hands as he did so to prevent you from covering your fucking beautiful face. “Listen,” the curly head implied, “you are so beautiful.” You sighed. “Harry, stop say–” The addressed one kissed your lips to silence you. Then he broke away the kiss, causing you to whimper at the loss of touch. Harry's face lit up as soon as the sound reached his ears. Those simple actions of yours were Harry's favourite. They were a kind of confirmation that you felt what he felt; that you were his. “How about this: You let me take photos of you, so I can show you how beautiful you are. There's nothing to be ashamed of.”

Alright, if you have read Library of Souls you know about the Panloopticon an its function. Months ago I got an ask on my other mphfpc blog about the meaning of its name and at first it had to do with the Ancient Greek word “pan” which means “all” + loop + ticon, because, you know, it’s supposed to be a door to other loops. It makes sense.

But this week I developed another theory about how Riggs might’ve come up with this name. For this I have to tell you about a French philosopher named Foucault. In 1975, he published his book “Discipline and Punish” about personal and institutional discipline and different subjects that I won’t go into right now because it’s not that important for the point I’m going to make. Foucault stated that, if institutional discipline is taken too far, it will have a negative effect on society, but that it is in general a “good” thing because when you when you know or think that you are being watched you start to behave differently (think Orwell’s “1984″).

In his book, Foucault invokes the idea of another philosopher and social theorist, Jeremy Bentham, an Englishman. This idea was something called the Panopticon - a type of building, a prison, that looks something like this:

(Source: http://foucault.info/) The cells along the walls have two mirrors facing the outer wall and the inner wall. The guard in the centre of the panopticon is able to watch all prisoners all the time, but the prisoners aren’t able to notice when he is watching them, thus creating a constant fear that they may or may not be watched.

If translated loosely, Panopticon means “place where everyone and all can be watched”.

And I don’t know if Riggs is into philosophy, but I thought this was a very plausible theory for the origin of the Panloopticon.
