Download or read book Foucault s Analysis of Modern Governmentality written by Thomas Lemke and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracking the development of Foucault's key concepts Lemke offers the most comprehensive and systematic account of Michel Foucault's work on power and government from 1970 until his death in 1984. He convincingly argues, using material that has only partly been translated into English, that Foucault's concern with ethics and forms of subjectivation is always already integrated into his political concerns and his analytics of power. The book also shows how the concept of government was taken up in different lines of research in France before it gave rise to "governmentality studies" in the Anglophone world. Foucault's Analysis of Modern Governmentality provides a clear and well-structured exposition that is theoretically challenging but also accessible for a wider audience. Thus, the book can be read both as an original examination of Foucault's concept of government and as a general introduction to his "genealogy of power."

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: L'objectif de cette thèse est de discuter le rapport existant entre savoir et pouvoir chez Michel Foucault. Le pouvoir est avant tout exercice, dispositif. Il s'exerce plutôt qu'il ne se possède. Nulle primauté entre savoir et pouvoir. Celui-ci ne se confond pas avec le savoir. Il y a une capture mutuelle entre eux. La vérité s'appréhende au sein même des réseaux complexes constituant les rapports entre savoir et pouvoir comme champ de forces conflictuelles. Aussi le lien entre subjectivité et vérité est irréductible aux rapports de pouvoir. Le savoir renvoie à des strates, aux archives comme strates...Il serait alors ce dans quoi le pouvoir ne cesse de s'intégrer, d'expliquer et de se laisser exliquer par lui. Comme dispositif, le pouvoir ne se limite pas à contenir des formes de savoir-pouvoir mais génère les effets de pouvoir et produit du savoir. Foucault nous présente deux exemples illustrant cette productivité agissante des dispositifs : la discipline et la sexualité. Celle-là comme technologie de dressage productif, est condensation de formes de savor-pouvoir ayant emprise sur le sujet, afin d'en automatiser le fonctionnement du corps et d'en extraire le maximum de forces économiquement utiles, d'en dissuader la résistance. La sexualité est un dispositif de pouvoir visant le contrôle. Le lien entre subjectivité et vérité est irréductible aux rapports de pouvoir et de savoir : il échappe aux mailles du dispositif de la sexualité. Se prêter à dire des vérités, ce serait jouer le jeu du pouvoir et de ses stratégies de domination

Download or read book The New Demons written by Simona Forti and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-12 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Italian philosopher and author of Totalitarianism “rescues the concept of evil as an element necessary for guidance in political reflection” (Dialogue: Canadian Philosophical Review). As long as we care about suffering in the world, says political philosopher Simona Forti, we are compelled to inquire into the question of evil. But is the concept of evil still useful in a postmodern landscape where absolute values have been leveled and relativized by a historicist perspective? Given our current unwillingness to judge others, what signposts remain to guide our ethical behavior? Surveying the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Western philosophical debates on evil, Forti concludes that it is time to leave behind what she calls “the Dostoevsky paradigm”: the dualistic vision of an omnipotent monster pitted against absolute, helpless victims. No longer capable of grasping the normalization of evil in today’s world—whose structures of power have been transformed—this paradigm has exhausted its explanatory force. In its place, Forti offers a different genealogy of the relationship between evil and power, one that finally calls into question power’s recurrent link to transgression. At the center of contemporary evil she posits the passive attitude towards rule-following, the need for normalcy, and the desire for obedience nurtured by our contemporary mass democracies. In our times, she contends, evil must be explored in tandem with our stubborn desire to stay alive at all costs as much as with our deep need for recognition: the new modern absolutes. A courageous book, The New Demons extends an original, inspiring call to ethical living in a biopolitical age.
Download or read book The Government of Life written by Vanessa Lemm and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2014-04-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foucault’s late work on biopolitics and governmentality has established him as the fundamental thinker of contemporary continental political thought and as a privileged source for our current understanding of neoliberalism and its technologies of power. In this volume, an international and interdisciplinary group of Foucault scholars examines his ideas of biopower and biopolitics and their relation to his project of a history of governmentality and to a theory of the subject found in his last courses at the College de France. Many of the chapters engage critically with the Italian theoretical reception of Foucault. At the same time, the originality of this collection consists in the variety of perspectives and traditions of reception brought to bear upon the problematic connections between biopolitics and governmentality established by Foucault’s last works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Download or read book Analytique foucaldienne du pouvoir et pratiques de libert written by Victor Biduaya Badiunde M. and published by Editions Edilivre. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault pense le pouvoir en termes de relations. Dans l’articulation entre le pouvoir et la résistance, il pose la question de la liberté. Celle-ci est, pour lui, de l’ordre du fait ; elle est à l’œuvre dans le corps social. Il suffit d’observer les relations de pouvoir à l’œuvre dans tout champ social pour apercevoir la liberté. Là où il y a relations de pouvoir il y a également liberté, car les relations de pouvoir ne trouvent à s’épanouir que dans un espace ouvert ; là où il y a un espace possible de résistance, il y a liberté. La problématisation de Michel Foucault nous permet de nous doter d’outils pour penser notre présent et nous constituer comme sujets libres.

Download or read book Rethinking Sexuality written by David H.J. Larmour and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of provocative essays, historians and literary theorists assess the influence of Michel Foucault, particularly his History of Sexuality, on the study of classics. Foucault's famous work presents a bold theory of sexuality for both ancient and modern times, and yet until now it has remained under-explored and insufficiently analyzed. By bringing together the historical knowledge, philological skills, and theoretical perspectives of a wide range of scholars, this collection enables the reader to explore Foucault's model of Greek culture and see how well his interpretation accounts for the full range of evidence from Greece and Rome. Not only do the essays bring to light the assumptions, ideas, and practices that constituted the intimate lives of men and women in the ancient Mediterranean world, but they also demonstrate the importance of the History of Sexuality for fields as diverse as Greco-Roman antiquity, women's history, cultural studies, philosophy, and modern sexuality. The essays include "Situating The History of Sexuality" (the editors), "Taking the Sex Out of Sexuality: Foucault's Failed History" (Joel Black), "Incipit Philosophia" (Alain Vizier), "The Subject in Antiquity after Foucault" (Page duBois), "This Myth Which Is Not One: Construction of Discourse in Plato's Symposium" (Jeffrey S. Carnes), "Foucault's History of Sexuality: A Useful Theory for Women?" (Amy Richlin), "Catullan Consciousness, the 'Care of the Self,' and the Force of the Negative in History" (Paul Allen Miller), "Reversals of Platonic Love in Petronius' Satyricon" (Daniel B. McGlathery), and an essay from Dislocating Masculinity (Lin Foxhall).
Download or read book Michel Foucault written by Philippe Chevallier and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'affirmation selon laquelle le pouvoir, pour Michel Foucault, serait "sans dehors", n'est pas aussi évidente qu'il y paraît. Le pouvoir a en effet un fort degré d'élaboration : il requiert pour s'exercer un minimum de continuité, de stabilité, de prévisibilité. Il laisse donc hors champ un domaine des relations humaines où la continuité est brisée, la stabilité défaite, la prévisibilité impossible. En parcourant les dits et écrits de Foucault de 1969 à 1984, cet ouvrage approche de cet autre domaine, ici nommé "bataille". Cette scission entre deux objets de l'étude historique nous renvoie à une autre scission qui concerne l'écriture même de l'histoire, toujours prise entre la recherche de continuités et l'affrontement au discontinu, entre l'intelligibilité de l'événement et son irréductible singularité. Il y a là non seulement une certaine manière d'écrire l'histoire, mais également une certaine manière de se tenir devant l'histoire.

Book excerpt: Le sujet selon Foucault est configuré suivant plusieurs pratiques discursives et non discursives et englouti dans des relations de savoir/pouvoir. La tâche du philosophe est d'en rendre compte et de mettre au clair les possibilités de connaître ce sujet, formé et transformé par le pouvoir. Ainsi il serait nécessaire de recommencer la modernité et de transformer son thème nodal, à savoir le sujet.
