Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La philosophie a délaissé les sciences. Pour Foucault, il reste à réfléchir aux fondements du pouvoir. Aussi inscrit-il son travail dans une tradition qui remonte aux philosophes grecs. Il s'agit d'analyser le fonctionnement du pouvoir, en le montrant dans sa fragilité et sa contingence historique, sans prétendre jamais le dominer par la pensée. Il s'agit aussi pour le philosophe de s'engager.

Download or read book Michel Foucault and Power Today written by Alain Beaulieu and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foucault's thought finds innumerable applications across the social sciences, from studies in the social aspects of the medical practices and criminal sociology to juridical and economic sciences. Owing to their philosophical ramifications, his ideas have also impacted the spheres of literary studies, ethics, political thought, and 'critical ontology.' Few thinkers have left such an influence across such a diverse range of studies. Contributors attempt to pay homage to that diversity by presenting a multidisciplinary series of analyses dedicated to the question of 'power today.' Drawn from a number of papers presented at an international conference entitled 'Michel Foucault and social Control: conducted at Maison de la culture CTte-des-Neiges in Montreal on May 8-10, 2004 to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Foucault's death, the essays that comprise this volume address the issue at both a theoretical level and as it pertains to specific fields of practice. In addition to paying tribute to Foucault's achievements and situating his thought within the French and larger European context from which it emerged, these essays also re-evaluate the relevance of Foucault's ideas for understanding contemporary conditions. This book is suited for a broad academic audience in the humanities and Social Sciences, especially philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies.

Download or read book Michel Foucault la politique comme guerre continu e written by Richard Groulx and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La guerre est-elle un accident des sociétés ou appartient-elle à leur constitution même ? Telle est la question posée par Foucault dans son Cours de 1976 « Il faut défendre la société ». Renversant le célèbre aphorisme de Clausewitz sur « la guerre prolongée par la politique », il démontre comment un « dispositif de guerre » s'est introduit dans le discours politique moderne comme « guerre continuée » ou guerre nécessaire à la fois comme guerre des races, lutte des classes, social racisme et racisme d'État.

Download or read book Il faut d fendre la soci t written by Michel Foucault and published by Companyédition EHESS/Gallimard/Seuil. This book was released on 1997 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le cours de 1976, "Il faut défendre la société", Foucault s'interroge sur la pertinence du modèle de la guerre pour analyser les relations de pouvoir. Il en définit deux formes : le pouvoir disciplinaire, qui s'applique sur le corps par le moyen des techniques de surveillance et des institutions punitives, et ce qu'il appellera désormais le "bio-pouvoir", qui s'exerce sur la population, la vie et les vivants. Analysant les discours sur la guerre des races et les récits de conquête (notamment chez Bougainvilliers), Foucault dresse la généalogie du bio-pouvoir et des racismes d'Etat. La logique des rapports entre pouvoir et résistance n'est pas celle du droit mais celle de la lutte : elle n'est pas de l'ordre de la loi mais de celui de la stratégie. La question est dès lors de savoir s'il convient de renverser l'aphorisme de Clausewitz et de poser que la politique est la continuation de la guerre par d'autres moyens.

Book excerpt: Ces contributions questionnent l'hypothèse du bio-pouvoir, qui se serait fixé pour mission, à partir du XVIIIe siècle, d'administrer les corps et de gérer la vie. Convoquant les concepts de vie, de sujet et de critique, elles proposent une pensée de la résistance, libérée du fantasme de l'émancipation radicale et centrée sur l'intervention stratégique dans les luttes locales.

Book excerpt: Foucault's Legacy brings together the work of eight Foucault specialists in an important collection of essays marking the 25th anniversary of Foucault's death. Focusing on the importance of Foucault's most central ideas for present-day philosophy, the book shows how his influence goes beyond his own canonical tradition and linguistic milieu. The essays in this book explore key areas of Foucault's thought by comparing aspects of his work with the thought of a number of major philosophers, including Nietzsche, Heidegger, Rorty, Hegel, Searle, Vattimo and Williams. Crucially the book also considers the applicability of his central ideas to broader issues such as totalitarianism, religion, and self-sacrifice. Presenting a fresh and exciting vision of Foucault as a philosopher of enduring influence, the book shows how important Foucault remains to philosophy today.

Download or read book A Foucault for the 21st Century written by Sam Binkley and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-23 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How relevant is Foucault’s social thought to the world we inhabit today? This collection comprises several essays considering the contemporary relevance of the work of Michel Foucault. While Foucault is best remembered for his historical inquiries into the origins of “disciplinary” society in a period extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries, it seems that today, under the conditions of global modernity, the relevance of his ideas are called into question. With the increasing ubiquity of markets, the break up of centralized states and the dissolution of national boundaries, together with new scientific and political discourses on biological life, the world of today seems far removed from the bounded, disciplinary societies Foucault described in his most famous books. Yet in recent years, it has become apparent that Foucault’s thoughts on modern society have not been exhausted, and, indeed, that much remains to be explored. Within this volume, novel interpretations and thematic developments of key Foucauldian concepts are presented in the works of 24 authors. Prominent among them are new forms of neoliberal economic conduct framed by distinct governmentalities; new critical concepts of biological life reflected in Foucault’s analysis of biopower, and new theoretical treatments of the effects of subjectivation. Moreover, included among these theoretical departures are empirical studies of contemporary formations of religion and spiritual practice, consumerism, race and racism, the discourse of genetics and the life sciences, surveillance and incarceration, and new social movements. Drawn from a conference held at the University of Massachusetts, Boston bearing the same title, A Foucault for the 21st Century: Governnentality, Biopolitics and Discipline in the New Millennium both expands our understanding of Foucault’s central theoretical legacy, and applies his ideas to a range of contemporary empirical phenomena.

Download or read book Foucault s Orient written by Marnia Lazreg and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foucault lived in Tunisia for two years and travelled to Japan and Iran more than once. Yet throughout his critical scholarship, he insisted that the cultures of the “Orient” constitute the “limit” of Western rationality. Using archival research supplemented by interviews with key scholars in Tunisia, Japan and France, this book examines the philosophical sources, evolution as well as contradictions of Foucault’s experience with non-Western cultures. Beyond tracing Foucault’s journey into the world of otherness, the book reveals the personal, political as well as methodological effects of a radical conception of cultural difference that extolled the local over the cosmopolitan.

Download or read book Penser avec Michel Foucault written by Marie-Christine Granjon and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2005 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'œuvre de Michel Foucault, à l'écart des modes intellectuelles de son temps, et à la croisée de la philosophie et de l'histoire, ne propose ni vision globale du monde ni théorie générale de la société. De l'histoire de la folie à l'histoire de la sexualité, ses recherches ont une double ambition: saisir des phénomènes concrets à travers la généalogie de pratiques singulières, d'une part; procéder à une critique rétrospective de notre temps en dévoilant l'historicité de nos catégories de pensée, avec leur part de contingence, d'arbitraire et de pseudo-évidences, d'autre part. Loin du déterminisme anhistorique, du pessimisme ontologique ou du nihilisme qu'on lui a prêtés, Foucault délivre un message optimiste: nous pouvons transformer et améliorer notre sort dès lors que nous avons saisi les dispositifs de savoir et les mécanismes de pouvoir qui nous ont constitués en objet d'investigation et de manipulation. (histoire est, surtout pour le dernier Foucault (1980-1984), un instrument de démystification de la fatalité, un révélateur d'indétermination et, somme toute, de liberté. Foucault a lui-même invité ses lecteurs à utiliser ses travaux comme autant de " boites à outils", susceptibles de fournir des instruments d'analyse des systèmes de pouvoir. Les usages privilégiés par ceux qui, dans ce volume, se réclament de son ouvre sont de trois ordres: usages philosophiques ou théoriques, de la part de ceux qui envisagent son œuvre sous l'angle d'une nouvelle théorie critique qui aurait succédé à celle de Marx ou de l'École de Francfort; usages heuristiques, de la part de ceux qui empruntent à Foucault concepts et hypothèses dans le but d'en tester le bien-fondé, données factuelles ou enquêtes de terrain à l'appui, et contribuent ainsi à la connaissance ou à l'explication de faits historiques, sociaux et politiques; usages pratiques ou politiques, de la part de ceux qui trouvent dans la "boîte à outils" les moyens d'établir un diagnostic de notre époque et de notre pensée, une lecture critique de nos pratiques indissociablement sociales et politiques, privées et publiques, voire un nouveau modèle d'intellectuel engagé.

Book excerpt: "This is a study of the French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault's 1976 work ""La Volonte de Savoir"". Dan Beer aims to uncover a network of ideas and linguistic patterns beneath the surface of the text. Through close textual analysis he addresses the issue of language and its effects on the world we inhabit.

Download or read book Machiavellian Ontology written by Francesco Marchesi and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies the philosophical implications of contemporary theories of conflict and proposes a new political ontology Sets out a description of the most influential theories of political conflict (Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Louis Althusser, Ernesto Laclau), as well as a critique of them from a Machiavellian point of view Provides a new interpretation of Niccolò Machiavelli’s thought as a political ontology Situates the argument in the recent debates about Italian Theory (Roberto Esposito, Antonio Negri, Giorgio Agamben) and political ontology (Oliver Marchart, Miguel Vatter, Yannis Stavrakakis, Chantal Mouffe, Ernesto Laclau) Offers a new theory of productive political conflict, which provides an innovative interpretation of the role of Machiavelli’s thought in opposition to the most influential contemporary political theories and in view of a new account of global political space The twentieth century was the century of the deconstruction of all absolutes: of liberation understood as a critique of every meaningful structure. In this sense, conflict was understood as an instrument of the rupture of every form, institution and community. Niccolò Machiavelli is the first in our tradition to think about the productivity of political conflict – its capacity, on the model of ancient Rome, to construct new orders, institutions and forms of life. Francesco Marchesi offers an original reading of Machiavellian thought as well as a critique of some of the most influential contemporary theories of conflict including Foucault, Schmitt, Arendt, Lacan and Althusser. In doing so, he proposes an innovative, conflictual political ontology that, with Machiavelli, is capable of conceiving the affirmative, and not only deconstructive, power of conflict.

Download or read book Penal Theories and Institutions written by Michel Foucault and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What characterizes the act of justice is not resort to a court and to judges; it is not the intervention of magistrates (even if they had to be simple mediators or arbitrators). What characterizes the juridical act, the process or the procedure in the broad sense, is the regulated development of a dispute. And the intervention of judges, their opinion or decision, is only ever an episode in this development. What defines the juridical order is the way in which one confronts one another, the way in which one struggles. The rule and the struggle, the rule in the struggle, this is the juridical.” - Michel Foucault Penal Theories and Institutions is the title Michel Foucault gave to the lectures he delivered at the Collège de France from November 1971 to March 1972. In these lectures Michel Foucault presents for the first time his approach to the question of power that will be the focus of his research up to the writing of Discipline and Punish (1975) and beyond. His analysis starts with a detailed account of Richelieu’s repression of the Nu-pieds revolt (1639-1640) and then goes on to show how the apparatus of power developed by the monarchy on this occasion breaks with the system of juridical and judicial institutions of the Middle Ages and opens out onto a “judicial State apparatus”, a “repressive system”, whose function is focused on the confinement of those who challenge its order. Michel Foucault systemizes the approach of a history of truth on the basis of the study of “juridico-political matrices” that he had begun in the previous year’s lectures (Lectures on the Will to Know) and which is at the heart of the notion of “knowledge-power”. In these lectures Foucault develops his theory of justice and penal law. The appearance of this volume marks the end of the publication of the series Foucault’s courses at the Collège de France (the first volume of which was published in 1997).
