A Foucault for the 21st Century
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 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.…
Foucault and the “New Man”
The following narrative serves as a companion piece to “Foucault, Marxism, and the Cuban Revolution: Historical and Contemporary Reflections.” It presents excerpts from several conversations conducted by Sam Binkley with professors at the University of Havana in June 2007, many of whom participated in a conference held in 1999 on the topic of Michel Foucault's work. Drawing on their testimonies and experiences, these discussions extend our inquir…
Foucault, Marxism, and the Cuban Revolution
This article relates central themes of Marxist and Foucaultian thought to the intellectual and political legacy of the Cuban revolution. Against the backdrop of a reading of Foucault's relationship to the revolutionary Left, it is argued that Marxist theoretical discourse on guerrilla struggle (as articulated by Mao Zedong, Che Guevara, and others) provides an intriguing case for biopolitical struggle. In the case of the Cuban revolution, an ethi…
From ‘A Clash of Civilizations’ to ‘Internal Colonialism
In his essay ‘The Hispanic Challenge’, Samuel Huntington argues that the persistent flow of Latino (and especially Mexican) immigrants into the USA threatens to divide the USA into ‘two peoples, two cultures and two languages’. Most critics have dismissed the essay by focusing on the data Huntington presents so polemically, and on his rigid conception of ‘Anglo-Protestant culture’. And yet very few have analyzed it by looking closely at the theor…
Deciphering The Labyrinth
Octavio Paz has been known worldwide as a talented poet and essayist, but not as a sociologist. And yet his seminal work, The Labyrinth of Solitude, published in 1950 and containing Paz's interpretation of Mexican history and identity, arrived at via his analysis of Mexican 'myths' or cultural forms, is rich in sociological content - particularly sociology of culture and sociology of knowledge. The author of this article, after noting that very f…
