Mobilities and Foucault

Mobilities and Foucault

Although Foucault’s work has been employed and embraced enthusiastically by some ‘mobilities’ scholars discussion across these two traditions to date has mostly been partial and unsystematic. Yet Foucault’s work can make critical contributions for example to thinking about governing mobilities in contemporary societies while conversely mobilities research opens up new perspectives on Foucault. In combination these bodies of work can illuminate issues as diverse as: the greater interdependencies between mobility systems (e. g. transport tourism trade internet use); the proliferation of the undesired mobilities of viruses of natural phenomena like fire of (what is taken to be) criminality and other seemingly inevitable by-products of globalisation; the perceived threats to desirable forms of mobility as constituted by climate change peak oil and energy security and terrorism and warfare; and the increased popularity of logics of governance premised on choice responsibilisation and the (re)coding of phenomena in economic terms under neo-liberalism. Against this background this book brings together the first major collection of contributions from across the social sciences with a shared interest in both mobilities and Foucauldian thinking. This book was published as a special issue of Mobilities. | Mobilities and Foucault

Foucault Art and Radical Theology The Mystery of Things

Foucault Art and Radical Theology The Mystery of Things

Michel Foucault wrote prolifically on many topics including art religion and politics. He also eloquently articulated how power structures are formed and how they also might assist resistance and emancipation. This book uses the hermeneutical lens of Foucault’s writings on art to examine the performative material and political aspects of contemporary theology. The borderland between philosophy theology and art is explored through Foucault’s analyses of artists such as Diego Velázquez Édouard Manet René Magritte Paul Rebeyrolle and Gerard Fromanger. Here special focus is placed on performativity and materiality—or what the book terms the mystery of things. At successive junctures the book discovers a postrepresentational critique of transcendence; an enigmatic material sacramentality; playful theopolitical accounts of the transformative force of stupidity and nonsense; and political imagery in motion enabling theological interpretations of contemporary collectives such as Pussy Riot and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. In conversation with contemporary thinkers including Catherine Keller Louise-Marie Chauvet John Caputo Daniel Barber Mark C. Taylor Jeffrey W. Robbins and Mattias Martinson the book outlines this source of inspiration for contemporary radical theology. This is a book with a fresh and original take on Foucault art and theology. As such it will have great appeal to scholars and academics in theology religion and the arts the philosophy of religion political philosophy and aesthetics. | Foucault Art and Radical Theology The Mystery of Things

Foucault Buddhism and Disciplinary Rules

Foucault Buddhism and Disciplinary Rules

This book suggests that previous critiques of the rules of Buddhist monks (Vinaya) may now be reconsidered in order to deal with some of the assumptions concerning the legal nature of these rules and to provide a focus on how Vinaya texts may have actually operated in practice. Malcolm Voyce utilizes the work of Foucault and his notions of 'power' and 'subjectivity' in three ways. First he examines The Buddha's role as a lawmaker to show how Buddhist texts were a form of lawmaking that had a diffused and lateral conception of authority. While lawmakers in some religious groups may be seen as authoritative in the sense that leaders or founders were coercive or charismatic the Buddhist concept of authority allows for a degree of freedom for the individual to shape or form themselves. Second he shows that the confession ritual acted as a disciplinary measure to develop a unique sense of collective governance based on self regulation self-governance and self-discipline. Third he argues that while the Vinaya has been seen by some as a code or form of regulation that required obedience the Vinaya had a double nature in that its rules could be transgressed and that offenders could be dealt with appropriately in particular situations. Voyce shows that the Vinaya was not an independent legal system but that it was dependent on the Dharmaśāstra for some of its jurisprudential needs and that it was not a form of customary law in the strict sense but a wider system of jurisprudence linked to Dharmaśāstra principles and precepts. | Foucault Buddhism and Disciplinary Rules

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault critiques mainstream American nursing theory and its use of post-structural theory comparing and contrasting how postmodern and post-structural ideas have been used fruitfully in nursing research and theorizing elsewhere. In the late 1980s references to post-structuralism and Michel Foucault started to appear in nursing journals. Since then hundreds of nursing publications have cited postmodernism and key post-structural ideas such as power/knowledge discourse and de-centring the human subject. In Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault Olga Petrovskaya argues that the application of these ideas is markedly different in American nursing theory scholarship compared to nursing theoretical scholarship generated outside the canon of unique nursing theory. Analysing relevant literature from the late 1980s through 2010s she demonstrates this difference arguing that American nursing theory calcified into a matrix of dogmas built on logical positivism wary of borrowed theory and loyal to a unique nursing science. Post-structural ideas that fit the matrix such as criticism of medicine are sanctioned whereas ideas sceptical of humanistic agendas including those that challenge American nursing theory are rendered meaningless. In contrast other nurse scholars from Britain Australia Canada and what the author calls the American enclave group engaged with postmodern and post-structural perspectives to enrich their research and invite readers to rethink nursing practice. The book showcases examples of their intelligent creative theorizing. Arguing that American nursing theory enervated nursing theorizing Petrovskaya calls for opening this matrix to theoretical and methodological creativity less rigid categories of scholarship and healthy self-examination. Making the case that post-structural ideas are vital for nurses’ ability to critically reflect on their discipline and profession this is a necessary read for all those interested in nursing theory philosophy and praxis.

It analyses the social stigmas applied to public and private sexual acts and the psychopolitical processes leading to the prevalence of neo-fascist populism in Italy and the world.

Judith Butler Michel Foucault and the Theology of Freedom

Judith Butler Michel Foucault and the Theology of Freedom

This book explores how Judith Butler’s work on gender and the shaping of the human subject and Michel Foucault's notion of parrhesia ‘speaking the truth’ can be made fruitful for a theology of freedom. The volume illustrates the importance of three concepts - freedom gender (body) and power (critique) - and how this triad provides the foundational categories and structural elements of a theology of freedom. By starting from an analysis of power and the performative potential of gendered embodiment freedom can be thought of as the basis of creative and critical human action and thereby implemented in theology. The chapters feature several theological-historical case studies that are representative of topics that continue to shape contemporary Catholic norms and thought. In particular the author reflects on the 13th century with the idea of personal sin and confession and the 19th century with a gender ideology that has led to the marginalization of difference and dissent. The book shows how Butler and Foucault can provide essential insights for Catholic theology and is valuable reading for scholars of religion philosophy and gender and sexuality studies. | Judith Butler Michel Foucault and the Theology of Freedom

Futures of the Human Subject Technical Mediation Foucault and Science Fiction

Futures of the Human Subject Technical Mediation Foucault and Science Fiction

Futures of the Human Subject focuses on the representation of the effects of technology use on human subjectivity in several recent near-future science fiction novels. Sharing the idea that human subjects are constructed in the world in which they exist this volume inscribes itself in the wider field of posthumanism which contests the liberal humanist notion of people as self-contained autonomous agents. At the same time it is the first substantial study of literary representations of the human subject carried out within the conceptual framework of Foucault-inflected philosophy of technical mediation which examines the nature of the relation between people and specific technologies as well as the way in which this relation affects human subjectivity. As such the book may help readers to exercise more effective control over the way in which they are constituted as subjects in this technologically saturated world. | Futures of the Human Subject Technical Mediation Foucault and Science Fiction

The Church Authority and Foucault Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom

The Church Authority and Foucault Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom

The Church Authority and Foucault addresses the problem of the Church’s enmeshment with sovereign power which can lead to marginalization. Breaking new ground Ogden uses Foucault’s approach to power and knowledge to interpret the church leader’s significance as the guardian of knowledge. This can become privileged knowledge under the spell of sovereign power and with the complicity of clergy and laity in search of sovereigns. Inevitably such a culture leads to a sense of entitlement for leaders and conformity for followers. All in the name of obedience. The Church needs to change in order to fulfil its vocation. Instead of a monarchy what about Church as an open space of freedom? This book then is a theological enterprise which cultivates practices of freedom for the sake of the other. This involves thinking differently by exploring catalysts for change which include critique space imagination and wisdom. In the process Ogden uses a range of sources analysing discourse gossip ritual territory masculinity and pastoral power. In all the work of Michel Foucault sets the tone for a fresh ecclesiological critique that will appeal to theologians and clergy alike. | The Church Authority and Foucault Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Movable books are an innovative area of children’s publishing. Commonly equated with spectacular pop-ups movable books have a little-known history as interactive narrative media. Since they are hybrid artifacts consisting of words images and movable components they cross the borders between story toy and game. Interactive Books is a historical and comparative study of early movable books in relation to the children who engage with them. Jacqueline Reid-Walsh focuses on the period movable books became connected with children from the mid-17th to the early-19th centuries. In particular she examines turn-up books paper doll books and related hybrid experiments like toy theaters and paignion (or domestic play set) produced between 1650 and 1830. Despite being popular in their own time these artifacts are little known today. This study draws attention to a gap in our knowledge of children’s print culture by showing how these artifacts are important in their own right. Reid-Walsh combines archival research with children’s literature studies book history and juvenilia studies. By examining commercially produced and homemade examples she explores the interrelations among children interactive media and historical participatory culture. By drawing on both Enlightenment thinkers and contemporary digital media theorists Interactive Books enables us to think critically about children’s media texts paper and digital past and present. | Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups
