In a key text from that period, Discipline and Punish, Foucault articulates several modes of power: absolutist, juridical, and disciplinary. This middle period consists primarily of Discipline and Punish (Vintage, 2nd Ed, 1991) History of Sexuality Vol I (Random House, 1978) and, Society Must be Defended (Picador, 2003). 1 English language scholars accept that his work falls into three periods.
