Empire, Biopolitics, and Communication
Hardt and Negri’s description of Empire is in a large part based on Michel Foucault’s account of biopolitics. For Hardt and Negri, the biopolitical nature of Empire means that social forms and modes of subjectivity are considered as the result of communication processes, and that imperial domination is exercised through networks of communication. However, this reading of Foucault is problematic inasmuch as he never reduced communication or modes …
Michel Foucault's Techniques of the Self and the Christian Politics of Obedience
Foucault repeatedly argued that his work on techniques of the self were not a denial of his previous work on 18th- and 19th-century Europe, but a different way to make our present intelligible. Although Foucault explicitly associated modern techniques of the self with the Christian model, he never considered Christian techniques of the self in a comprehensive manner. The recent publication of his last two lectures at the Collège de France in 1983…
Foucault’s history of the will to knowledge and the critique of the juridical form of truth
Contemporary Foucauldian research generally considers that our present is characterized by a positive type of power that invests life and posits a radical distinction between sovereign power and discipline/biopolitics. At the heart of this distinction is the supposed incompatibility between the law and the norm. However, a closer study of Foucault’s history of truth lends itself to a rereading of that perspective. The defining feature of contempo…
Biopolitics and the Dressage of Populations
Les travaux de Michel Foucault sur les relations de pouvoir modernes mettent en évidence deux modèles principaux. D'une part, une technologie de pouvoir « disciplinaire », qui consiste en une prise en charge exhaustive de l'individu, d'autre part, une technologie de pouvoir « biopolitique », qui correspond à la raison d'Etat moderne et libérale, et à la gestion souple des phénomènes de masses associés à la population. Cependant, une analyse plus …
Foucault and the examination
The recent publication of key lectures given by Michel Foucault helps clarify the concept of biopolitics, and illustrates its differences with disciplinary power. It appears however that many works written by Foucault in the early 1970s point to the similarities between these two technologies of power. In particular, in a series of lectures presented in 1973 entitled Truth and Judicial Forms, Foucault presents the technique of the examination, an…
