Can anybody clarify the relationship between Foucault's discussion of
racism in <<Les Anormaux>> and that in "Society Must be Defended" for me?
It would seem from reading Stuart Elden's synopsis of <<Les Anormaux>>
(2001, 'The Constitution of the Normal,' in "boundary 2" 28 (1): 91-105)
that racism, as it is figured in the 1975 course, is tied to
anatamo-political discipline, specifically psychiatry (102); whereas in
SMBD, it is tied more to bio-political regulation, and government.
However, in both instances it seems to be related to the emergence of
man-as-species (97), which conflicts with the demarcation that Foucault's
makes between man-as-body (organic, individual) and man-as-species
(biological, population), in SMBD (242).
