I asked this question of the list a while ago but only got a couple of responses so thought I would try again. I am looking for examples of investigations that have been prompted by throw away remarks in Foucault's work. Ideas which Foucault only mentioned briefly in passing that people have taken up as a springboard for extensive studies. Actually, come to think of it, Edward Said's work Orientalism is probably one such work - from a very brief comment in the introduction to The History of Madness. -- regards Clare ************************************************ Clare O'Farrell email: c.ofarrell@xxxxxxxxxx website: http://www.michel-foucault.com ************************************************

Emmanoel B — 2009-06-23T17:40:49+05:30

Hi, Jason, I am interested in the natural vs. social debates within the history of economic thought. Because you mentioned Gary Becker and wanted to see how people interpreted what is meant by "natural subjects", I think the following books might be of interst: Historian and philosopher of economics Phil Mirowski has a 2002 book whose ch. 7 deals with the idea of how today´s economics might be destroying the concept of a human self. He also edited a book called "Natural Images in Economic Thought" (1994), and the first and last chapters of it might be useful too. There is also a 2005 book by professor Don Ross ("Economic Theory and Cognitive Science"), whose chapter 6 might be of interest. This book is rather difficult, in my opinion, but has a lot of references and discusses other authors in the debate of the role of the individual in today´s economics (people like John Davis, John Dupré and Mirowski). It also deals with the subjective, biological and social aspects of the behavior of economic agents. I don#...

[Foucault-L] The subject of neoliberalism

Jason Weidner — 2009-06-23T03:02:41+05:30

In the manuscript for the lecture of 21 March 1979, Foucault wrote a final section called "Concerning human technology", which appears on pages 260-261 of Birth of Biopolitics. In it he writes of the shift within neoliberal thought from the juridical/normalizing regime of disciplinary power to a focus on governing through environmental interventions that establish and modify as necessary the 'rules of the game' within which the subject of neoliberal governmentality acts. At the very end, he writes, "But does this mean that we are dealing with natural subjects?" I'm interested to see how some might interpret this question Foucault asks. Is he inquiring as to whether neoliberal thought is predicated on the idea of a natural subject? Furthermore, how exactly do neoliberals such as Becker understand human subjectivity? I have some ideas, but I'm interested to see what others think. Jason R. Weidner PhD. candidate, Department of International Relations Florida International University Miami, FL USA

hi ian there is a passage from an interview foucault gave in 1967 that I have taken as a kind of methodological prescription in writing my thesis about foucault, which i think may be of some help in addressing your question. the interview has the title 'on the ways of writing history,' and the passage reads as follows: 'Instead of reconstituting the immanent secret, [criticism; k] treats the text as a set of elements…among which one can bring out absolutely new relations, insofar as they have not been controlled by the writer’s design and are made possible only by the work itself as such. The formal relations that one discovers in this way are not present in anyone’s mind; they don’t constitute the latent content of the statements, their discreet secret. They are a construction, but an accurate construction provided that the relations described can actually be assigned to the material treated…[they are constructions that]…place people’s words in relations that are still unformulated, said by us for the first ...

ian.walmsley — 2009-05-22T02:08:34+05:30

I am fairly new to Foucauldian methods and am currently trying to understand whether the idea of interpretation has any place in using Foucault's methods. I understand that for Foucault there is no inside or outside of discourse so in using his methods it is important to aviod searching for meaning. My question would be, when analysing data am I just describing the practices? But then surely my descriptions are only my interpretation? From what I can see (with my noice minds eye) there is no way out of interpretation, or am I just talking about two different things? Any feedback about this, or useful and informative pieces to read, or some general feedback on using Foucault would be much appreciated. Regards Ian

[Foucault-L] Call for Papers

Jason Weidner — 2009-05-08T21:48:22+05:30

Call for Papers: Foucault and Global Civil Society Contributions are invited for a proposed panel on Foucault and Global Civil Society to be convened during the International Studies Association Annual Convention in New Orleans, February 17-20, 2010. Issues regarding global civil society can be found at the center of many debates regarding various transformations taking place in contemporary world politics. Increasingly, scholars working from critical theoretical approaches have been interrogating the meaning of global civil society and its relationship to our political present. However, few scholars have analyzed global civil society by drawing on the social and political thought of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, who in International Relations is mostly used for analysing the strategies of security. The recent publication of Foucault’s 1979 lectures, The Birth of Biopolitics, gives new impetus to a Foucauldian analysis of global civil society. In these lectures, Foucault locates the ‘invention19; o...
