3. Here I would recommend as a model of historical process not Foucault's Discipline and Punish, but William Reddy's account of the historical emergence of wage-labor relations—surely one crucial modern disciplinary complex. In Reddy's telling, the wage-labor relation arose not from any single or univalent discourse or practice, but as the historical product of complex and contradictory strivings of laborers, factory owners, government officials, and political economists.
