Oligopticon is a generic term, used by Bruno Latour who uses this term in order to trace social connections. His colleague Michel Foucault describes the opposite phenomena and terms it panopticon. Oligoptica "do exactly the opposite of panoptica: they see much too little to feed the megalomania of the inspector or themparanoia of the inspected, but what they see, they see it well." For example, Latour describes parliaments, courtrooms and offices as oligopticons, or special places where the micro-structures of macro-phenomena are crafted. It such locations the panorama of associations is created and local activities become a “bigger” issue. Sites as parliaments or courtrooms satisfy our global need to specify places, where different strands of a once-called “macro-social” phenomenon get connected. "From oligoptica, sturdy but extremely narrow views of the (connected) whole are made possible, as long as connections hold. Nothing it seems can threaten the absolutist gaze of panoptica, and this is why they are loved so much by those sociologists who dream to occupy the center of Bentham’s prison; the tiniest bug can blind oligoptica."[1]
