“excess power”

No one needs to discuss „pro-#natalists“ in earnest. Every single argument that starts with „declining birthrates“ ends in #eugenics and #racism. Ironically if the US left weren’t so brainbroken from years of discussing „#postmodernism“ or „identity politics“ they would have learned that from #Foucault.

Does anyone know if there's an epub/mobi version of Foucault's "the hermeneutics of the subject"? I can only find the PDF (which is a bad scan) :/

In teacher-tok comments talking about Foucault and internalised surveillance..

This is a normal way to spend Saturday afternoons.. right?

«Il faut un peu renverser les choses, et plutôt que de dire
ce qu’on a dit à un certain moment : “Essayons de réintro-
duire l'homosexualité dans la normalité générale des relanons
sociales”, disons le contraire : “Maïs non! Laïssons-la échapper
dans toute la mesure du possible au type de relations qui nous
est proposé dans notre société, et essayons de créer dans l’espace
vide où nous sommes de nouvelles possibilités relanionnelles”” »
Michel Foucault

The Body as Battlefield: Foucault and Embodied Power

Foucault reveals power as a creative force, beyond mere repression. Bodies are not only constrained but actively shaped by subtle mechanisms. Power produces reality, generates truths and norms. #Philosophy #Foucault #ProductivePower #PoliticalBodies Michel Foucault, a 20th-century French philosopher, revolutionized our understanding of power by conceptualizing it not as a purely repressive force, but as a complex…

do you ever just read #Foucault and slip into musings abt #MichaelCrichton's book #JurassicPark (1990) and #JordanPeele's film #Nope (2022) on the arrogance of disciplinary precision to shape docile bodies that're so obedient and entrenched in the expectation to gaze upon spectacle (of their own design) that it leads to their own destruction

Online #Seminar: The Making and Unmaking of Selfhood

Which strategies do human beings develop to relate to themselves and to others? How do discourses and practices affect the way in which selfhood is conceptualized and transformed?

The seminar offers intercultural perspectives on self-cultivation at the encounter of philosophy and religious studies, including engagement with #Aristotle, #Epicureanism, #Neoplatonism, #Judaism, and #Foucault

Early critical reviews and writings on Tolkien range from safe takes on the new fantasy form to vapid praise, and from hyper-focused examinations of the name Bifur to broader post-structuralist analyses. Here's a few from my shelf and their value today.

It especially challenges the “humanistic” idea that advances in knowledge and technology always enhance human freedoms.

Representation and Power: Insights from Foucault, Butler, and bell hooks

Representation shapes our understanding of power and truth. Foucault, Butler, and bell hooks remind us of its crucial role in our identities and social struggles.

Foucault’s Biopower: When Control Extends to Life Itself

A striking analysis of our modern society. #Foucault #Biopolitics #Philosophy Michel Foucault, inspired by Nietzsche, developed a profound analysis of the mechanisms of power over bodies. His concept of "biopower" goes further, showing how control…

The Social Body According to Foucault: A Materialist Perspective on Power

Foucault challenges the idea of the social body as a result of consensus. For him, it's the materiality of power on individual bodies that shapes the social body. This perspective revolutionizes our understanding of social dynamics and power. Let's explore the implications of this Foucauldian vision! #Foucault #Philosophy #SocialBody Michel Foucault, an influential French philosopher of the…

Nein, Michel #Foucault war nicht der Vater der #Identitätspolitik, wie heutzutage manche meinen. In seinen Funk-Essays aus den frühen 1960er Jahren schlägt er einen ungewöhnlich poetischen Ton an. https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1188047.foucault-im-radio-schatz-im-sprachmeer.html
