Es innegable la aceptación casi generalizada de parte de los comentaristas de Foucault (Morey, 2014; Castro, 1995; Díaz, 2014) en distinguir tres momentos en su pensamiento: el arqueológico, el genealógico y el ético. Dicha división puede mostrarnos que es posible plantear varias indagaciones al respecto en cuanto al tema y al método. A nuestro jui...
A dearth of critical research on Michel Foucault’s reconstruction in Les mots et les choses (1966) of the history of economic thought from the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries has overlooked his most sustained engagement with economics. This dissertation seeks to fill that gap. Also, Foucault and Karl Marx drew from the same archive of econom...
Dramaturgy is an art form that is still, after decades of existence in the American theater, misunderstood, and often feared, by many theater artists. From quasi-realistic portrayals of TV Shows such as SMASH, to the pulpy B-movie depiction of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, dramaturgs are often portrayed with at least a sense of distrust, if not o...
Civic computing research has accumulated a systematic body of knowledge about Western societies. However, little attention has been paid to China, a non-Western, non-democratic society. I study how information and communication technologies (ICTs) affect civic participation in China. I have conducted a qualitative study of how Weibo users understoo...
Contemporary Hollywood film narrates the fear of monstrous science; attending to the modulations of medicine, capital and the body. The filmic body is employed to illustrate the power of the new biotechnologies to create and sustain life and the new sets of social relations which are a consequence of the marriage of capital and medicine. In the Hol...
This article of theoretical reflection investigates the social networks that emerge in the context of Web 2.0, such as Facebook, as dispositives of neoliberal governmentality in the sense proposed by Foucault. From the standpoint of government of self, the design of social networks establishes a competition for attention that tends to favor the neo...
Ever since Michel Foucault shared a number of intuitions on ‘other spaces’ at a conference in 1967, a growing number of studies in social sciences have been focusing on what he then called heterotopias. Over the past 10 years, organization scholars have started to use the concept in their analysis, from leadership and marketing to queer practices a...
Nous partons de l’hypothèse que, si la notion d'événement n’est évidemment pas absente des archéologies foucaldiennes conduites jusqu’en 1966 , néanmoins sa signification semble accéder dans L'Archéologie du savoir à une certaine stabilité qui, d’une part, en décale sensiblement les enjeux par rapport à son usage antérieur (dans Les Mots et les cho...
Este artigo apresenta uma proposta teórica e conceitual sobre formas de indigenciação para além dos aspectos econômicos na contemporaneidade. Escolhemos duas das suas categorias, a saber, a invisibilização e o silenciamento – como as condições discursivas e as práticas de constituição do sujeito indigenciado. Normalmente indigente é, grosso modo, u...
Quels sens, quelle valeur, quelle portée pour la pensée et pour la pratique politique est-il possible d'attribuer au concept de theatrum philosophicum, de philosophie-théâtre ? Le présent travail se propose d'explorer des pistes de réponse à ces questions à travers l’œuvre de Michel Foucault. Il parcourt les concepts, les textes et les instruments ...
