In his 1973 lectures at the Collège de France, La Société punitive, Michel Foucault grafted a genealogy of morals onto the political economy of a disciplinary society. That is precisely what needs to be done in order to fully understand American punitive practices in our neoliberal era.

Wendy Brown. In the account of Neoliberalism. 2016

source: European Graduate School Video Lectures    2017年1月25日
http://www.egs.edu Wendy Brown, Professor of Philosophy at The European Graduate School / EGS. Saas-Fee Switzerland. August 13 2016.
Wendy Brown is Professor of Political Science at the University of California Berkeley. Her research interests include the history of political and social theory, Continental philosophy, and critical theory, together with the examination of contemporary capitalism. In her research into the problems that plague contemporary capitalism and neoliberalism, she employs theoretical works of Michel Foucault, Max Weber, Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Frankfurt school.
In 1983, Wendy Brown received her doctoral degree from Princetown University. She subsequently taught at the University of California, Santa Cruz and also at Williams College. Since 1999, she has been teaching at the University of California, Berkeley.
Edgework: Critical Essays on Knowledge and Politics (2005) consists of seven articles which were all written for some particular occasion. Brown emphasises this trait of her book and claims that “such occasions mimic, in certain ways, the experience of the political realm: one is challenged to think here, now, about a problem that is set and framed by someone else, and to do so before a particular audience or in dialogue with others not of one’s own choosing.” Every essay in this book begins with a particular problem: what is the relationship between love, loyalty, and dissent in contemporary American political life?; how did neoliberal rationality become a form of governmentality?; what are the main problems of women’s studies programs?, etc. According to Brown, the aim of these essays is not to produce definitive answers to the given questions but “to critically interrogate the framing and naming practices, challenge the dogmas (including those of the Left and of feminism), and discern the constitutive powers shaping the problem at hand.”
In Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire (2006), Wendy Brown subverts the usual and widely accepted conception that tolerance is one of the most remarkable achievements of the modern Western world. She argues that tolerance cannot be perceived as a complete opposite to violence, but that can also be used to justify violence. In order to substantiate this thesis, Brown associates tolerance with figures like George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Samuel Huntington, Susan Okin, Michael Ignatieff, Bernard Lewis, and Seyla Benhabib and claims that “tolerance as a political practice is always conferred by the dominant, it is always a certain expression of domination even as it offers protection or incorporation to the less powerful.”
Walled States, Waning Sovereignty (2010) examines the revival of wall-building in the contemporary world. She shows that the function of these walls is ultimately problematic because they cannot stop crimes, migration, or smuggling, cannot play a defensive role in the case of a war like they did in the past, and they cannot do anything against potential terrorist attacks. However, even if they cannot stop all these threats, walls still have an important symbolic function which Brown explores in her book.
Her most recent work Undoing the Demos: Neoliberalism’s Stealth Revolution (2015) uses Michel Foucault’s The Birth of Biopolitics to analyze the hollowing and evisceration of democracy under neoliberal rationality. Brown describes neoliberalism as a furtive attack on the very foundation of democracy. She treats “neoliberalism as a governing rationality through which everything is “economized” and in a very specific way: human beings become market actors and nothing but, every field of activity is seen as a market, and every entity (whether public or private, whether person, business, or state) is governed as a firm. Importantly, this is not merely a matter of extending commodification and monetization everywhere, as in the old Marxist depiction of capital’s transformation of everyday life. Neoliberalism construes even non-wealth generating spheres—such as learning, dating, or exercising—in market terms, submits them to market metrics, and governs them with market techniques and practices. Above all, it casts people as human capital who must constantly tend to their own present and future value.” To be saved, democracy again needs to become not only the object of theoretical rethinking but also of political struggle.

Christina Hendrick: Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish (05/24/2016)

In this lecture for Arts One at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Christina Hendricks discusses Foucault’s argument in Parts One (on the spectacle of public execution) and Three (on discipline and panopticism) of Foucault’s Discipline and Punish. She begins by talking about Foucault’s views of power, the relationship between power and knowledge, and his idea of his political role as an intellectual. Then she talks about the reversal of vision in the text, from the sovereign power being the spectacle (Part One of the text) to individuals being surveyed in disciplinary power (Part Three).

Debate Noam Chomsky & Michel Foucault - On human nature [Subtitled]

source: withDefiance     2013年3月13日
The full tv debate by Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault on the question of Human Nature. Subtitles: English, Portuguese, Japanese. Proper subtitles.

Excerpts from the historical debate between Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky have passed the reverse many times in recent years. And there is frequently referred to these two thinkers. Here we will be showing the whole fascinating debate on philosophy and politics that in 1971 was recorded for Dutch television.

Noam Chomsky (1928): linguist, historian, philosopher, critic and political activist. As the "father of modern linguistics" (linguistics), he focused on the issue of innate vs.. the learned. In his later career has evolved as a major critic of foreign policy of the United States (from Vietnam to South America to the Middle East) and propaganda in the modern media with one of his major works "Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media".

Michel Foucault (1926 - 1984): French philosopher, social theorist, historian and literary critic. In his work he researches power and its workings, how it influenced knowledge and how it is used as a form of social control. He is best known for his critical studies of social institutions such as psychiatry, social anthropology, the prison system and the history of human sexuality. One of his major works is "The Birth of the Prison, Discipline and Punish" (Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison) on changes in the criminal model of punishing the body (corporal punishment) to punish the spirit.

PHILOSOPHY - Michel Foucault

source: The School of Life    2015年7月3日
Michel Foucault was a philosophical historian who questioned many of our assumptions about how much better the world is today compared with the past. When he looked at the treatment of the mad, at the medical profession and at sexuality, he didn't see the progress that's routinely assumed.

JNU Philosophy Colloquium: Anup Dhar on "Psychoanalysis: The Other Side ...

source: Babu Thaliath     2014年12月7日
Time and Date: 4. p.m.Friday 29th August, 2014
Venue: School of Language, Literature & Culture Studies
Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi
Abstract:Jacques Lacan's Seminar XVII, delivered at the Law Faculty, Place du Pantheon, in 1969-70 is titled The Other Side of Psychoanalysis. Lacan was undecided as to whether he should title this seminar (a) "Psychoanalysis upside down", i.e. "a revival of the Freudian project upside down, or (b) The Other Side of Psychoanalysis, i.e. "a revival from the other direction. Taking off from Foucault's take on 'philosophy' and ascesis (askesis) in Hermeneutics of the Subject this talk argues that psychoanalysis could be seen as the other side of philosophy; an 'other side' that is also somewhat closely related to the philosophy of the Other. Why however, would psychoanalysis be the other side of philosophy, other side of which philosophy, and which psychoanalysis would be the other side, would have to be examined, perhaps demonstrated. One will also have to see what is the other side? What does it mean to be on the other side or to not be on the other side? Turning away from psychoanalysis marked by 'The Repressive Hypothesis', Oedipalization and the interiority of the desiring subject, Lacan and Derrida in their respective ways develop the other side of psychoanalysis; which also happens to be the other side of philosophy. In their rewriting of psychoanalysis they thus rewrite philosophy; or perhaps in their rewriting of philosophy they rewrite psychoanalysis. The talk asks, does the Freudian turn to the akratic, the bodily ego, and the sexuated take psychoanalysis to the other side of philosophy, an other side Foucault inaugurates in History of Madness and Irigaray inaugurates in Speculum of the Other Woman? Between Lacan's rewriting of the 'philosophy of the subject' in Seminar on "The Purloined Letter", Remarks on Daniel Lagache's Presentation, and Logical Time and the Assertion of Anticipated Certainty and Derrida's rewriting of the 'philosophy of mind' and the topographical in Freud and the Scene of Writing and The Wolf Man's Magic Word: A Cryptonymy do we get a glimpse of psychoanalysis as the other side of philosophy? Is Heidegger’s critique of the Cartesian cogito an alter ego of the Freudian ‘decentring’ of the subject? Through the paradoxical and counterintuitive embrace of the cogito as the subject of the unconscious, does Lacan open the other side of (Cartesian) philosophy? What does the Lacanian Real do to (Kantian) philosophy? Does the psychoanalytic turn hollow out its own support tree: philosophy? Does the main trunk of psychoanalysis get hollowed out in turn and in the process? What remain are perhaps just prop roots! What we end up with is the Banyan Vine of a vast network of innumerable prop roots, of both psychoanalysis and philosophy.
