This article aims to apply a post-panoptic view of surveillance within the context of elite sport. Latour’s (2005) ‘oligopticon’ andudDeleuze and Guttari’s (2003) ‘rhizomatic’ notion of surveillance networks are adopted to question the relevance and significanceudof Foucault’s (1979) conceptualisation of surveillance within an elite sports academy setting. A contemporary representation ofudbio-politics (Rose 1999, 2001) is further utilised to discern the mode of governance and control effective within such institutions.udIn so doing, this article seeks to understand the evolving methods of surveillance technology and governance and how they areudsituated within the setting of a contemporary institution. Such considerations aim to provoke a line of questioning surrounding theudnormalisation of intrusive surveillance practices and their impact upon identity construction and an authentic sense of self.
