Trosbegrebet hos Slavoj Žižek
The aim of this article is to provide a systematic presentation of Slavoj Žižek's reflections on belief and hereby to indicate his relevance for a philosophy of religion. The article begins with a brief introduction to Žižek's basic philosophical concern and a theological contextualization of his thinking from the perspective of this concern. This is followed by an exposition of his concept of belief. The starting point of this exposition is Freu…
Health Promotion, Governmentality and the Challenges of Theorizing Pleasure and Desire
The relationship between pleasure and asceticism has been at the core of debates on western subjectivity at least since Nietzsche. Addressing this theme, this article explores the emergence of 'non-authoritarian' health campaigns, which do not propagate abstention from harmful substances but intend to foster a 'well-balanced subject' straddling pleasure and asceticism. The article seeks to develop the Foucauldian analytical framework by foregroun…
Foucault, Maoism, Genealogy: The Influence of Political Militancy in Michel Foucault’s Thought
Foucault’s inspiration from Nietzsche in terms of writing critical histories is difficult to overestimate. However, this article advances an interpretation of Foucault’s approach to history which focuses on another, less readily evident, dialogue partner, namely the Marxist tradition and, more precisely, French Maoism. The first part of the article details Foucault’s involvement in the Maoist-inspired activist group, Groupe d’information sur les …
Materialism, dialectics, and theology in Alain Badiou
This article examines the relationship between materialism, dialectics, and theology in Alain Badiou's work. The first three sections of the article focus on Badiou's reading of Hegelian dialectics in his 1982 work, Theory of the Subject. The first section accounts for Badiou's splitting of Hegel into an idealist and materialist dialectic, and presents an exposition of the latter. The second section outlines Badiou's critical analysis of the theo…
Public Policy and Foucaultian Critique: Towards a Happy Marriage
This article suggests that certain intertwinements can be discerned between contemporary public policies and post-structural thinking, emblematically represented by Foucault and scholars drawing upon his work. The article demonstrates that the post-structural perspective on power, while recognising its strengths and efficacy, confines observers to a particular form of analytical critique, which sets specific limits for what can be observed and de…
Har Casper Christensen og Frank Hvam læst Goffman? – om rollekompetence, kvindemoral og kynisk fornuft
Artiklen tager afsæt i hypotesen, at forfatterne bag sit-com’en “Klovn“ har været inspirerede af pointer hos Goffman, Žižek og Sloterdijk. Den viser gennem analyser af udvalgte afsnit af “Klovn“, hvordan den aktuelle socialitet synes gennemsyret af et særligt sæt “kønnede scripts“, som i markant grad styrer den sociale mikro-interaktion. Ikke mindst er de to mandlige hovedfigurer stærkt orienteret imod en særlig “kvindemoral“. Artiklen argumenter…
Who should do the talking? The proliferation of dialogue as governmental technology
This paper investigates the recent proliferation of appeals to 'dialogue' as a solution to problems in a broad spectrum of different organisational settings Instead of top‐down management and expert‐driven public services, we are told we need 'dialogue‐based' management, health treatment, elder care, social counselling, and so forth. Dialogue is often presented as a tool that will reverse the stifling dominance of authoritative expertise and lead…
Hvor skal talen komme fra? Dialogen som omsiggribende ledelsesteknologi
Artiklen tager afsæt i den udbredelse af dialog som ledelsesinstrument, som har kunnet iagttages de senere år inden for mange forskellige velfærdsområder. Den fremlægger den påstand, at der er ved at ske en forskydning i ledelsesrelationerne, som indebærer, at den før talende ekspert — lægen, sundhedsrådgiveren, socialarbejderen, lederen — nu skal tale mindre, mens den førhen tavse — patienten, den udstødte, medarbejderen — nu skal tale mere. Her…
