Understanding Foucault - Tony Schirato - Bog - Sage Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

"An outstandingly good introduction to Foucault′s work: lucid, measured, well organised, and covering this complex and in many ways heterogeneous body of work with remarkable thoroughness and ease." - Professor John Frow, University of Melbourne "This is a clear and understandable book, starting with a very helpful glossary of theoretical terms... an accessible introduction to Foucault′s major work exploring power and control, governmentality and ethics which are crucial for students to understand." - Tracy Ramsey , Liverpool Hope University "A very good accompaniment to any student thinking seriously about following the work of Foucault... Easy to follow, very well structured." - Mark Timoney , Sligo Institute of Technology Michel Foucault is now regarded as one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. He is known for his sensibility of critique and his commitment to movements for social change. His analysis of the ways our notions of truth, meaning, knowledge and reason are shaped by historical forces continues to influence thinkers around the world. Understanding Foucault offers a comprehensive introduction to Foucault′s work. The authors examine Foucault′s thinking in the context of the philosophies he engaged with during his career, and the events he participated in, including the student protests of 1968. A unique feature of the book is its consideration of recently published lectures and minor works, and the authors show how these illuminate and extend our understanding of Foucault′s major books. Understanding Foucault provides an accessible entrée to the world of this extraordinary and challenging philosopher.

Up Against Foucault - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Up Against Foucault - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Up Against Foucault introduces key aspects of Foucault''s work to feminists, in ways which are less abstracted than much of the existing literature in this area. It includes an introduction to Foucault''s terms, and fills a gap in the literature by clarifying the links between the everyday realities of women''s lives and Foucault''s work on sexuality and power. The contributors explore the implications of analysing power relations, sexuality or the body, without also thinking about gender and other social divisions. They bring their expertise from social theory and philosophy to bear on the same core issues; the ways in which Foucault provokes feminists into questioning their grasp of power relations, and the implications of the absence of gender in his own work. Up Against Foucault shows that in spite of his lack of interest in gender, Foucault does have much to offer feminism - proposing new ways of understanding the control of women and especially the control of sexuality and bodies. This book offers new ground in relating Foucault''s challenge to feminism to feminisms challenge to Foucault. Feminists are up against Foucault because he questions the key conclusions which feminists have come to about the nature of gender relations, and men''s possession of power. It is an appraisal of how seriously we need to take this challenge.

The Archaeology of Foucault - Stuart Elden - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Archaeology of Foucault - Stuart Elden - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

On 20 May 1961 Foucault defended his two doctoral theses; on 2 December 1970 he gave his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France. Between these dates, he published four books, travelled widely, and wrote extensively on literature, the visual arts, linguistics, and philosophy. He taught both psychology and philosophy, beginning his explorations of the question of sexuality. Weaving together analyses of published and unpublished material, this is a comprehensive study of this crucial period. As well as Foucault’s major texts, it discusses his travels to Brazil, Japan, and the USA, his time in Tunisia, and his editorial work for Critique and the complete works of Nietzsche and Bataille. It was in this period that Foucault developed the historical-philosophical approach he called ‘archaeology’ – the elaboration of the archive – which he understood as the rules that make possible specific claims. In its detailed study of Foucault’s archive the book is itself an archaeology of Foucault in another sense, both excavation and reconstruction. This book completes a four-volume series of major intellectual histories of Foucault. Foucault’s Last Decade was published by Polity in 2016; Foucault: The Birth of Power followed in 2017; and The Early Foucault in 2021.

The Later Foucault - - Bog - Sage Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Later Foucault - - Bog - Sage Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Why does Foucault′s work continue to be of central importance in current debates in sociology, political science and philosophy? Why do we still read him as a guide to contemporary social and cultural life? Foucault′s work presents a provocative challenge to orthodox, habitual forms of belief and practice. The Later Foucault , with an impressive interdisciplinary focus, argues that one of the keys to understanding Foucault is his political thought. It is this which he expressed clearly in his last writings and which pulled together his earlier interests in power, agency and subjectivity. In this volume a distinguished array of Foucauldian scholars and commentators on politics explore the significance of these last writings. They examine such key issues as the question of Foucault and human rights; his relationship to ethical thought, power and freedom; his relationship to feminism; and comparisons of his work with Levinas and Rawls.

The Philosophy of Foucault - Todd May - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Philosophy of Foucault - Todd May - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Michel Foucault''s historical and philosophical investigations have gone through many phases: the archaeological, the genealogical, and the ethical among them. What remains constant, however, is the question that motivates them: who are we? Todd May follows Foucault''s itinerary from his early history of madness to his posthumously published College de France lectures and shows how the question of who we are shifts and changes but remains constantly at or just below the surface of his writings. By approaching Foucault''s work in this way, May is able to offer readers an engaging and illuminating way to understand Foucault. Each of Foucault''s key works - "Madness and Civilization," "The Archaeology of Knowledge," "The Order of Things," "Discipline and Punish" and the multi-volume "History of Sexuality" - are examined in detail and situated in an historical context that makes effective use of comparisons with other thinkers such as Freud, Nietzsche and Sartre. Throughout this book May strikes a balance between sympathetic presentation and criticism of Foucault''s ideas and in so doing exposes Foucault''s contributions of lasting value. "The Philosophy of Foucault" is an accessible and stimulating introduction to one of the most popular and influential thinkers of recent years and will be welcomed by students studying Foucault as part of politics, sociology, history and philosophy courses.

Foucault and Literature - Simon During - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Foucault and Literature - Simon During - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The writings of the French historian, literary critic and philosopher Michel Foucault have been of immense importance to developments in literary studies since the late 1970s. He, more than anyone, stands behind the new historicism'' and cultural materialism'' that currently dominate international literary studies. Simon During provides a detailed introduction to the whole body of Foucault''s work, with a particular emphasis on his literary theory. His study takes in Foucault''s early studies of transgressive'' writing from Sade and Artaud to the French new novellists'' of the 1960s, and his later concern with the genealogy of the author/intellectual, writing and theorizing within specific, historical mechanisms of social control and production. Foucault and Literature offers a critique both of Foucault and of the literary studies that have been influenced by him, and goes on to develop new methods of post-Foucauldian literary/cultural analysis.

On the Use and Abuse of Foucault for Politics - Brent Pickett - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Sensitive to the discontinuities in Foucault''s thought, neither critical nor slavishly devotional, On the Use and Abuse of Foucault for Politics demonstrates how Foucault is relevant for contemporary democratic theory. Beginning with a discussion of the interrelated ideas of power and resistance, Brent Pickett provides an interpretation of Foucault''s political philosophy, including a comprehensive overview of the reasons for various conflicting interpretations, and then explores how well the different ''Foucaults'' can be used in progressive politics. Accessible and insightful, On the Use and Abuse of Foucault for Politics is valuable for specialists in Foucault and for students of postmodern and democratic theory alike.

Foucault, Management and Organization Theory - - Bog - Sage Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Foucault, Management and Organization Theory - - Bog - Sage Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This volume draws together critical assessments of Michel Foucault′s contribution to our understanding of the making and remaking of the modern organization. The volume provides a valuable summary of Foucault′s contribution to organization theory, which also challenges the conventions of traditional organizational analysis. By applying Foucauldian concepts such as discipline, surveillance and power/knowledge, the authors shed new light on the genesis of the modern organization and raise fresh questions about organization theory. The bureaucratic career is, for example, analyzed as a disciplinary device, a mechanism that seeks to alter rational choice rather than constrain bodies. This raises questions about Foucault′s linking of the modern organization′s birth with the enlightenment. Other contributions review the impact of totalizing managerial discourses and the limits and possiblities of resistance, and question the profound pessimism of Foucault. The volume concludes by examining the implications of Foucault′s later work in which he suggests that people are much freer than they feel.
