summary:
  Foucault  Studies  aspires  to  be  an  organ  for  the  advancement  of  Foucault’s thought through a continuously revived critical reception.  According to the Social Sciences Citation Index, Foucault was in  2004 and the two following years the most quoted thinker to live after World War II,  outranking Bourdieu, Giddens, Habermas, Latour, Beck, Derrida, and Deleuze.

  In many cases what they are doing  is harmonizing  the relations  between states or regulating transactions between states  so that perhaps extended  economic and social spaces become more viable.    Q:  Let’s speak of the development of what Blair and Anthony Giddens call the ‘third way’  and what Nikolas Rose analyses in his texts of the  late 1990s as a continuum of the process  that Foucault calls ‘the governmentalization of state’.  In  the  book  Governing  Europe  we  talked  about  the  governmentalization  of  Europe, which is again, and among other things, a way of distinguishing our project  from  the  mainstream  of  EU  studies  where  the  theme  of  the  Europeanization  of  government or state has become so popular.

  Valerie Harwood, Diagnosing ‘Disorderly’ Children: A Critique of Behaviour Disorders Discourses (London: Routledge, 2006)

summary:
  Harwood  focuses her analysis on Foucault’s “three elements of experience” as  they relate to what we take to be conduct disorders: first, “games of truth,” how the  concepts of disorderly children and conduct disorder have garnered the status of the  scientific discourse through the fields of psychiatry and education; second, “relations of  power,” how “conduct disorder” can function as authoritative knowledge of children  and  young  people,  using  the  prestige  of  psychiatry  and  education  to  enable  the  diagnosing of conduct disorder; third, how the concept of ‘technologies of the self” can  show us how mentally disordered subjectivity is constituted.  Harwood’s  study  would  have  been  more  robust  if  she  provided more and better nuanced phenomenological description, “dense description,”  of  what  it  feels  like  to  be  viewed  as  conduct  disordered  by  the  experts  and,  consequently, by oneself.

  In the two volumes of his lectures of 1978 and 1979, we see Michel Foucault  making a major intellectual change of direction, moving away from an analysis of  power  as  the  formation  and  production  of  individuals  towards  an  analysis  of  governmentality, a concept invented to denote the ‘conduct of conducts’ of men and  women, working  through  their autonomy rather  than  through coercion even of a  subtle  kind.  So  what accounts for this singular success of Foucault’s reflection on governmentality in  the Anglo‐Saxon world?    CG:  We had a few advantages in Britain.

  As with all  such images, it would be an exaggeration to say that Foucault begins on the  inside  (of  discursive  practices,  of  institutions)  and  seeks  freedom,  the  outside  (of  thought), whereas Deleuze begins with  the outside, with  lines of flight, and seeks  to  show how insides are formed (as strata or residues).  While one could attempt to construct a Foucaultian  145 Foucault Studies, No 5, pp. 145‐147  ontology of the social – the categories by which human reality is constructed – we also  need  to  acknowledge  Foucault’s  hesitancy  to  use  philosophical  terms  in  the  straightforward way in which Deleuze uses them.

  Review - Department of History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences, University of Montana - Western, USA

summary:
  In the main body of Hoy’s book is to be found a wealth of informative  commentary and theoretical elaboration on the works of Nietzsche, Foucault,  1   David  Couzens  Hoy,  Critical  Resistance:  From  Poststructuralism  to  Post‐Critique  (Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2005), 2.  2   Hoy, Critical Resistance, 5.  97 foucault studies, No 3, pp. While  Hoy  acknowledges  that  Bourdieu  is  not  a  poststructuralist,  and  is  “closer to Marx and Merleau‐Ponty” than Nietzsche, he finds the notions of  habitus  and  field  to  be  a  similar  approach  to  doing  an  embodied  social  ontology  to Foucault’s genealogies.6 The end of  the discussion of Bourdieu  marks  the  turning  point  in  the  book  towards  a  consideration  of  the  controversy surrounding poststructuralist forays into ethics and politics.

summary:
  The texts that I work through  in  the  opening  chapter  on  Nietzsche,  followed  by  the  central  chapter  on  Foucault,  helped  to  form  my  understanding  of  what  is  important  in  philosophy.  Of course, philosophers such  as  Foucault,  Derrida,  Bourdieu,  and  Levinas  are  inconceivable  without  Heidegger’s  influence.

  Michel Foucault, The Hermeneutics of the Subject: Lectures at the Collège de France 1981-1982. Edited by Frédéric Gros. Translated by Graham Burchell. New York: Palgrave Macmillan

summary:
  Of  course, the concepts here are far from new in that they are mostly ancient, but  they  are  also  largely  concepts  which  can  be  found  in  Foucault’s  other  107 1   Frédéric Gros, “Course Context”, in Michel Foucault, The Hermeneutics of the Subject  (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004), 518.  2   Michel Foucault, The Hermeneutics of the Subject: Lectures at the Collège de France 1981‐ 1982 (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005), 187‐192.  Now, in the work under discussion,  Foucault  is of course still animated by a desire  to write  the history of  the  present.

This very brief book (only  160  pages,  half  letter‐page  size)  is  very  suitable  reading  for  those  curious  about the context in which Foucault’s work emerged, while the rich collection  of photographs  (twenty) puts a  face on one of  the most popular names  in  today’s  social  sciences.

summary:
  Some Foucauldians consider that his genealogy of power remains,  perhaps  necessarily,  incomplete  and  they  denounce  Foucault’s  “technocratization  shift.”  Some  classical  scholars  blame  Foucault  for  his  misunderstandings of Hellenistic thinking, while other commentators criticize  Foucaultʹs artificial, individualistic and nihilistic “return to the subject,” and  some  political  thinkers  take  a  radical  stance  against  the  aestheticising  of  practical problems in Foucault’s later works.  OʹLeary  presents  Foucaultʹs  “art  of  existence”  (the  “aesthetics of existence” or the “etho‐poetics” as Foucault sometimes calls it)  1  Mitchell  Dean,  Governmentality:  Power  and  Rule  in  Modern  Society  (London:  Sage,  1999);  Thomas  Lemke,  Eine  Kritik  der  politischen  Vernunft.

summary:
  Rayner’s point of departure is Foucault’s own claim, in his final interview, “The Return of Morality,” that: “For me Heidegger has always been the essential philosopher.” (p. 35) Before elaborating on this hypothesis, it is important to point out that Rayner has already told his readers that his approach “does not centrally involve comparing and contrasting Foucault and Heidegger’s work,” with the risk that such an approach entails of providing “a reductively Heideggerian (and thus misrepresentative) reading of Foucault ….”(p.

  In Searle and Foucault on Truth, C. G. Prado continues  the efforts at a rapprochement  between Continental and analytic philosophy begun in his earlier works, Starting with  Foucault:  An  Introduction  to  Genealogy1  and  A  House  Divided:  Comparing  Analytic  and  Continental  Philosophy.2  In  Starting  with  Foucault,  Prado’s  audience  is  comprised  of  analytic  philosophers  who,  with  few  exceptions,  have  largely  dismissed  Foucault,  considering him not to be a philosopher at all, much less one who has anything of value  to say to them about philosophical theories of truth and knowledge.3 Accordingly, that  work  offers  an  introduction  to  Foucault  via  his  genealogical  texts  with  a  focus  on  Foucault’s ideas on truth, knowledge, the subject, and rationality and, moreover, how  they are products of power relations.  In  Searle  and  Foucault  on  Truth, Prado stays with  the related  themes of  truth and realism, except  that now he  narrows  his  focus  to  a  specific  comparison  between  Foucault’s  views  and  those  of  analytic philosopher  John Searle.

  It is throughout a tale of recuperation and intellectual reterritorialisation: Americans and British from the end of the Sixties to the Nineties being caught up in the mystical invocation of French names; ‘new’ French philosophers in the late Seventies trying to gain notoriety by swiftly condemning contemporary philosophers en bloc and seeking to take their place in the public eye; the global success, notoriety and spread of French Theory into new fields – subaltern studies, cultural studies, feminist critiques; and finally the tale of Cusset himself, writing this useful book about big names, no longer one of the few lonely Queer Theorists in France, but instead cast as an efficient transatlantic mediator.

summary:
  In attempting to stage a productive confrontation between Michel Foucault’s methodology of conceptual analysis and Anglo-American analytic philosophy, Davidson makes a valuable contribution to the epistemological debate about the history of knowledge, one that will prove to be of interest to epistemologists and historians, as well as to those generally engaged with Foucault’s work. Given the importance of a functional understanding of statements then, it is surprising that Davidson does not draw the obvious and clear connection between his employment of Ian Hacking’s concept of dynamic nominalism,10 Heinrich Wölfflin’s notion of ‘history without names,’11 Pierre Hadot’s Wittgensteinian idea that language does not always function “in only one way and always for the same goal”12 and his own claim to have read 6 Michel Foucault, Ethics, Subjectivity and Truth:

  Gretchen Reydams‐Schils amplifies and clarifies this  quick  gloss  on  the  connection  the  Stoics  drew  between  the  care  of  the  self  and  relationality; see Gretchen Reydam‐Schils, The Roman Stoics: Self, Responsibility, and  Affection (Chicago: University of Chicago, 2006), Ch. 2.   63  Jim Urpeth makes a similar claim about the “fundamental, though  largely  implicit  contribution” Foucault’s history of the ancient care of the self makes to arriving at a  clear  understanding  of  Nietzsche’s  idea  of  askēsis.  He  demonstrates that Christianity wrongly interprets Hellenistic self‐cultivation  as  closely  connected,  either  historically  or  analytically,  with  a  “conceited  ontology” that gives license to various brands of hyper‐individualism.13  Foucault’s  interpretation  of  Hellenistic  self‐cultivation  sets  it  apart  from  individualism  understood  either  as  a  solipsistic  withdrawal  into  the  private sphere, a crude exaltation of singularity, or, as indeed Augustine saw  it,  an  inflamed  self‐love  that  blossoms  into  a  love  of  power  over  others.14  According to Foucault, an intense labour of the self on itself can, as it did with  the Stoics, fuse with fulfilling one’s obligations to humankind, to one’s fellow  citizens and to a denunciation of social withdrawal.15 Once it emerges from  the  shadows  of  Christianity,  he  argues,  the  Hellenistic  tradition  can  be  rightfully seen as a rich vein of philosophical therapy that takes as its starting  13   Romand Coles constructs pagan subjectivity as founded on a “conceited ontology”;  see Romand Coles, Self, Power, Others: Political Theory and Dialogical Ethics  (Ithaca:  Cornell University Press, 1992).

summary:
  Neoliberalism is a discourse and practice that is aimed to curtail the powers of labor that are distri- buted across all of society—at the exact moment in which all of social existence be- comes labor, or potential labor, neoliberalism constructs the image of a society of ca- pitalists, of entrepreneurs. It is in confronting neoliberalism that the seemingly abstract debates of the last thirty years, debates between poststructuralists such as Michel Foucault and neo-Marxists such as Antonio Negri about the nature of power and the relation between “ideolo- gies” or “discourses” and material existence, cease to be abstract doctrines and be- come concrete ways of comprehending and transforming the present.

  Gary Shapiro, Archaeologies of Vision: Foucault and Nietzsche on Seeing and Saying. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003

summary:
  In the following review I will  touch upon  three  interrelated motifs  that are crucial  to  the ways  in which  Shapiro  responds  to  the  above  questions:  1)  vision  is  complex,  layered,  reversible,  shifting,  and  incomplete;  2)  vision  borders  near  an  infinite  recurrence  of  non‐meaning;  and  3)  the  affirmation  of  the  first  and  second  motifs  requires  that  we  overcome  ourselves  in  a  process  of  self‐ transformation.  But  this  certainly  is  not  the  only  way  of  thinking  about  infinity.11 The disappearance of the center, the absence of meaning, and the  death of  the subject are affirmed by Shapiro  in  the sense  that every act of  vision  is “framed  in a  larger context of which we may or may not become  aware.

summary:
  Psychiatric power, disciplinary power, family power   The  lectures  are  about  ‘psychiatric  power’,  installed  during  the  nineteenth  century but, by the logic of Foucault’s account, still very much the base‐line of  the encounter today between the psychiatrist and the patient.  In  the  process,  the  lectures  suggest  important  continuities  between  the  ‘archaeological’  and  ‘genealogical’  strains  of  Foucault’s  earlier  and  later  inquiries,  less  the break between  them  that  is sometimes  trumpeted  in  the  secondary literature, and in this respect they inhabit similar ‘meta‐theoretical’  ground to the already‐published lecture series of both 1974‐1975 (Abnormal)  and  1976‐1976  (“Society  Must  be  Defended”).

  He  traced  the  origins  of  the  pastorate  to  the  shepherd‐flock  model  of  leadership  that  was  “frequently  found  throughout the Mediterranean East, … in Egypt, Assyria, Mesopotamia, and above  all, of course, in the Hebrews,”20 and spent nearly an entire lecture making the case  that the Greeks, particularly Plato, did not embrace the idea of a political leader as a  shepherd.21 However, Foucault was quite emphatic about the role that the pastorate  played in Christianity:  I think the real history of the pastorate as the source of a specific type of power over men,  as a model and matrix of procedures for the government of men, really only begins with  Christianity. …  The pastorate begins with a process that is absolutely unique in history  and  no  other  example  of  which  is  found  in  the  history  of  any  other  civilization:  the  process by which a religion, a religious community, constitutes itself as a Church, that is  to say, as an institution that claims to govern men in their daily life on the grounds of  leading them to eternal life in the other world, and to do this not only on the scale of a  definite group, of a city of a state, but of the whole of humanity.22    He  discussed  the  development  of  the  Christian  pastorate  in  great  detail,  distinguishing it not only from the Eastern and Hebraic traditions, but from Greek  techniques of the self as well.23 I will have to pass over that discussion here, however,  in order to focus on what I take to be the most important point Foucault made about  the pastorate, which is that it was contested throughout its history.  According to Foucault, Europe was created at this point on the basis of a  new “military‐diplomatic apparatus” that was comprised of three instruments: the  use  of  war  as  a  diplomatic  technique  (citing  Clausewitz  without  inversion);  permanent diplomatic relations based on the principle of a “physics of states”; and  professional, scientifically trained armies.41              What Foucault outlined thus far in the course, therefore, was a very similar  process that occurred both within, and among, states.

summary:
  Although, as I argued earlier, relationships between men are often highly normalised, homosexual relationships take place in a ”marginal” space that exists beyond the boundaries of conventional masculine culture, where the norms that would otherwise govern relationships between men do not apply.5 Homosexual relationships therefore need to be created rather than derived from an existing tradition. Rather, the norms that apply to homosexual relationships are fewer and constitute an inadequate guide to creating an actual relationship.

summary:
  McLaren here, as elsewhere in her wide-ranging book, is entering lightly trodden conceptual ground,7 anticipating and inspiring the rich de- velopment of work in this area of feminist Foucault studies which would follow in subsequent years.8 The new direction of Foucault’s analysis marked by the second and third vo- lumes of The History of Sexuality comes to define, McLaren writes, a different concep- tion of subjectivity, one that “ruins” or “rejects” not the concept of the subject itself, but rather, as McLaren puts it, “a particular formation of it,” This analysis is notable not only for its contribution to feminist applications of Foucault, but to the development of Foucault studies more generally. 6 3 McLaren, Feminism, Foucault, and Embodied Subjectivity, 21. 4 Michel Foucault, “What is Critique?”

  In Governing Societies he moves away from the more systematized “analytics of government” approach developed within his previous work and instead embarks on a detailed engagement with the political di- mension of liberal powers. This represents an attempt to extend governmentality beyond concerns with the “conduct of conduct”, which he locates as only one potential zone of liberal power.

summary:
  Relying to a significant extent on Foucault’s lectures at the Collège de France (most of which were either unpublished or not translated at the time he was writing), McGushin’s history makes good use of Foucault’s blend of philosophical reading techniques, derived from both ancient and modern practices. What holds together the diversity of Foucault’s readings, which span a period of four decades, is McGushin’s re-reading of Foucault’s earlier archaeological and genealogical writings on modern forms of power/knowledge through the lens of his later work on subjectivity, the ethical care of the self and aesthetics of existence.1 1

summary:
  How is the work one performs on residual du- rational temporalities, the ethical substances of social conduct, or the residual in- scriptions of Donzelot’s “unwilled collective reality” to be practiced differently? What I have described here as the residual temporalities of social conduct that appear as ethical substances in the work of neoliberal governmentality, share important features with such subjugated knowledges: to do the work of neoliberal governmentality diffe- rently is to engage differently the sedimented memory of social time that is the ethi- cal substance of neoliberal governmentality, to engage this trace, not through a prac- tice of disaggregation and responsibilization, but through a reactivation and redep- loyment of the “unwilled collective reality” that is the fabric of social time.

Therefore, it is unsurprising that they would author the ‚first systematic exploration of the relevance of Foucault’s explorations of subjectivity and truth, and its significance for educational theory of what Foucault referred to on a number of occasions as ‘the culture of self,’ especially in a course of lectures he gave in Berkeley in the early 1980s.‛2 Much of the book is drawn from conference presentations and course offerings by the authors, with significant revisions in order to make them cohere as a whole.3 Besley and Peters mobilize Foucault’s later work, especially his lectures, to frankly discuss the neoliberal shift in society and its implications for education.

summary:
  In remembering his high school years, Hadot mentions a telling event, his 1939 high school examination in philosophy, which consisted of commenting on a famous quotation by Bergson, viz., “Philosophy is not the construction of a system, but the resolution made once to look naively at the world in and around oneself.” The book offers an excellent introduction to the basic tenets of Hadot’s revolutionary interpretation of ancient philosophy and arouses in the reader the curiosity to read his more scholarly works.

summary:
  Here it is also demonstrated how The Birth of Biopolitics should not be re- garded as a mere parenthesis in the history of liberalism, but as Foucault’s most com- prehensive analysis of modern biopolitics, situated within the framework of what he in 1978 designated ‚the history of governmentality‛14 and in 1979 ‚the general disposi- tive [dispositif] of governmentality.‛15 Having established a more comprehensive con- 10 Mark Kelly, ‚Afterliberalism,‛ Radical Philosophy 153 (2009): 46-49; Mike Gane, ‚Foucault on Governmentality and Liberalism,‛ Theory, Culture & Society 25: 7-8 (2008) : 353-363; Thomas F. Tierney, ‚Review Essay: Michel Foucault, Security, Territory, Population: Lectures at the Collège de France, 1977-78,” Foucault Studies 5 (2008): 90-100; Diogo Sardinha, ‚Le découverte de la liberté,‛ Labyrinthe: La Biopolitique (d’)après Michel Foucault, 22:3 (2005): 89-99; Jeanine Hortoneda, ‚Sécurité, territoire, population et Naissance de la biopolitique de Michel Foucault‛, Empan, 59:3 (2005): 61-70; and Michel Senellart, ‚Course Context‛, 369-401 *Michel Senellart, ‚Situation des cours‛, 379-411]. For that reason, the population is not merely a biological species, a group of legal subjects, or individual bodies of discipline; it also represents its own natural or intrinsic logic, constituted as it is by different probabilities, by uncertainties and temporalities, by dangers, risks, and contingent events, in the same ways as this population varies with the climate, the material sur- roundings, the intensity of commerce, the circulation of wealth, laws and traditions, etc.33 Hence, in 1978 Foucault conceptualizes the governmental target of the popula- tion as a new collective focus of biopolitics, representing a ‚political object‛ insofar the population is that on which and towards which the acts of government are directed, but also a ‚political subject‛ insofar as it is the population that is called upon to con- duct itself in a particular way.34 30 Informative studies on this triangulation include: Michael Dillon, ‚Governing Through Con- tingency: The Security of Biopolitical Governance,‛ Political Geography 26:1 (2007): 41-47; Charles Ruelle, ‚Population, milieu et normes: Note sur l’enracinement biologique de la biopolitique de Foucault,‛ Labyrinthe: La Biopolitique (d’)après Michel Foucault 22:3 (2005): 27- 34; Anault Skornicki, ‚Le ‘biopouvoir’: détournement des puissances vitales ou invention de la vie (L’économie politique, le pian et le peuple au XVIIIe siècle),‛ Labyrinthe: La Biopolitique (d’)après Michel Foucault, 22:3 (2005): 55-65; Ute Tellmann, ‚Foucault and the Invisible Economy,‛ Foucault Studies 6 (2009): 5-24; and Thomas F.

summary:
  Instead, Foucault directs our attention to the interplay between a milieu and the wills and interests of the subjects by which “one tries to affect the popula- tion.” 31 Certainly, as Foucault states, within the security-dispositif, the “multiplicity of individuals is no longer pertinent, the population is. Foucault sought to understand the very boundary between the spheres of politics and economy as a specific epistemological construction: “Political economy was im- portant, even in its theoretical formulation, inasmuch as (and only inasmuch as, but this is clearly a great deal) it points out to the government where it had to go to find the principle of truth of its own governmental practice.”

summary:
  While the first deals with “surveillance images,” i.e., the development and implementation of CCTV and monitoring devices, the second part takes issue with “images of surveillance,” i.e. how surveillance is represented within the mass media. Usually, these maneuvers try to destruct the machinery of observation from the inside by confronting it with acts of counter-surveillance or by sabotaging the cameras, misusing surveillance images, and hacking the digital networks of the monitoring system.

summary:
  Rousseau taught Kant that metaphysics undermined rather than supported morality, alienating humans from a recognition of their own moral autonomy by hypostasising its products- the laws of human morality- as the expression of the will or 'natural law' of God.28 In both Beiser’s and Velkley’s accounts, then, Kant’s critical philosophy- conceived as decisively post-Rousseauian29- is situated as a 21 Velkley, Freedom and the End of Reason, 5 22 Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, A805/B833. On the level of Kant scholarship, to read Kantian critique as an- albeit impersonal- ascetic practice, is to reinstall the ‘primacy of practical reason’ at the heart of our understanding of Kant.
