Spatialized Indistinction of Omnipresence

Guantanamo is the principle object.
The following is an excerpt from “Zones of Indistinction – Security, Terror, and Bare Life” in Territories 2003 p. 42
“The building should be visible from all over town, preferably built on a small mountain. It should be non-transparent and dark. As the prisoners internalized the gaze of authority, the citizens would internalize the risk of imprisonment. The ban could strike all – again, sovereignty reins in potentia, omnipresent yet not necessarily real or actual. “It is the apparent punishment, therefore that does all the service, I mean in the way of example, which is the principle object. It is the real punishment that does all the mischief.” (Bentham 1988: 170; quoted in Bozovic 1995: 4)”
