NEW BOOK ON FOUCAULT
Roger Deacon. 2003. Fabricating Foucault: Rationalising the Management of
Individuals. (Milwaukee: Marquette University Press). ISBN: 0874626617
(pbk)
Fabricating Foucault explores the implications of the work of Michel
Foucault for the Enlightenment project. Can the modern drive to explain
the world so as to guide political action and promote progressive change
be defended in the light of Foucault's critique? How might genealogy
rewrite the history of truth when truth structures the very limits of our
knowledge? Is it possible to rethink relations of power as strategies of
governance which depend on the existence of free subjects capable of
resistance? What is the relationship between the manufacture of
subjectivity and Foucault's call to engage in aesthetic stylistic
experimentation upon ourselves?
Chapter 1: Enlightenment, truth and the critique of reason
Chapter 2: Genealogy and the problematization of enlightenment
Chapter 3: Power as sovereignty and the history of discipline
Chapter 4: Reconceptualising power relations
Chapter 5: The production of subjectivity
