Ségura, Philip. "Michel Foucault : l'espace non-dialectique." Paris 8, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA083689.
Full textThe objective was to understand from the sentence of Michel Foucault: "Je n'accepte pas ce mot, dialectique. Non et non ! Il faut que les choses soient bien claires. Dès que l'on prononce le mot "dialectique" on commence à accepter, même si on ne le dit pas, le schéma hégélien de la thèse et de l'antithèse, et avec lui une forme de logique qui me paraît inadéquate, si l'on veut donner de ces problèmes une description vraiment concrète. ", the movement coming from the thought determinations which would go from the plan of immanence towards the modes of conceptualization. Many philosophers allotted to Foucault various periods of evolution of his thinking. I started my study by presupposing that Foucault worked throughout his life around the same level of immanence and that he continuously tried to explain it starting from the knowledge of various socio-history disciplines. And I tried to understand this movement which goes from the level of immanence to a conceptualization of his thinking built around the critical tradition. Foucault wants to proof that philosophy constructed the subject and a system of the human conscience. The dialectics presents itself as the central point of this system. How to understand the presence of the concept by knowing that above all it is the result of the overlapping connection of subject in the socio-history thinking?

Full textMy thesis shout Michel Foucault is mostly concerned by Foucault’s thought between "madness and civilization" (1960) and "history of sexuality" (1984). If one considers the thesis bibliography, it's possible to understand that Foucault’s work considered by me as more important of his thought is not always proposed by Foucault’s books; many articles and interviews elucidate the aims and trajectory of Foucault. This is the reason why they play an important role in the thesis. During one of his stays in Berkeley (October 1980), Foucault explain the themes of his ethics: "I am a moralist, insofar as a believe that one of the tasks, one of the meanings of human existence - the source of human freedom - is never to accept anything as definitiven untouchable, obvious or immobile" (history of the present, spring 1980). In this interview conducted by m. Bess, Foucault exposes the three elements of his moral thought. They are: "(1) the refusal to accept as self-evident the things that are proposed to us" - it concerns the first chapter of my thesis(l'experience fondamentale); "(2)the need to analyses and to know, since we can accomplishe nothing without reflexion and understanding thus the principle of curiosity" - it concerns la problematisation
Ahmade, Ramez. "L'éthique comme pratique de la liberté selon Michel Foucault." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA080030.
Full textThis thesis proposes, following Michel Foucault’s work, an enquiry into the ethics of the subject as a possible way to free oneself from knowledge-power relations and the effects of subjectivation. Freedom cannot, however, be identified with a simple emancipation from an external power; it is, in its ultimate form, a voluntary choice, a self-action that carries the project of forging its own subjectivity, with the use of its own techniques. It’s a “becoming-subject”, namely, having the ability to act, to produce, and to transform itself into a political and social subject. The aim of this thesis is to show the value and importance of an ethical approach for the present time, the issue at hand being the subject and its ability to be the agent and the master of its existence
Owono, Essono Aristide. "Homme, société et pouvoir : lecture foucaldienne de l'humanisme kantien." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Amiens, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021AMIE0011.
Full textSince his appearance in the world, man has always put the gods at the center of his existence. It was with the gods that he found the right stability between managing his existential fears and his constant desire to understand the laws of the universe. But, this theocentrism will be broken because the history of humanity is deeply marked by the destitution of the gods for the benefit of man, it is the advent of anthropocentrism, an attitude that puts man at the center of all. And later, this philosophical anthropocentrism will give birth to what is today called humanism, which also manifests itself in a deep love and unconditional respect for all that relates to human dignity in general. Emmanuel Kant (1724-1804) is one of the greatest essential figures of this humanist current, he will sublimate human nature at its peak. Indeed, with a rigorous and methodical use of reason (pure and practical), Kant's rationalist humanism has the ambition to make man an absolutely free and autonomous being, virtuous, creator and possessor of knowledge (or of truth), architect of the evolution of societies. Ultimately, one gets the impression that he always does everything in the interests of humanity. However, Michel Foucault (1926-1984) will undertake a radical deconstruction of the Kantian subject despite the great capacities that he has. In fact, Foucault will criticize Kantian humanism as a whole because of the importance he gives to man. Thus, for the good of all, the French philosopher believes that "the death of man" becomes an absolute requirement. This hostile attitude leads us to seriously question the true foundations of humanism. Indeed, why is man a danger? Should we admit that humanism is no longer useful to us today? And if the man is no longer important, what should he be replaced by? At this stage, it becomes imperative to proceed to an analysis of Foucault's zetetic approach in order to understand his real intentions. Essentially, this theoretical confrontation that he undertakes with Kant will allow us to reflect on the contemporary issues of humanism in the era of postmodernity
Colombo, Agustin. "Le bios de la brebis : la problématique de la subjectivité dans le christianisme chez Michel Foucault." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA080114.
Full textThis dissertation investigates the genealogical value that Michel Foucault assigns to Christianity focusing on the configuration of subjectivity, particularly on the way of life as a main domain in which subjectivity is constituted. More precisely, the dissertation is structured by following the three genealogical domains or constitutive areas of “focal points of experience” in Foucault’s last works. The first part tackles the problem of truth, in particular for what concerns the forms of veridiction; the second part focuses on the analysis of the forms of power, or more exactly, the techniques of governmentality; the last part approaches the forms of subjectivation or the practices of self. Based on available Foucauldian corpus and unpublished material –especially the Confessions of the Flesh (Les aveux de la chair) – the description and analysis of these three domains aim to answer two fundamental questions related to the Foucauldian diagnosis of the present: What is the historical role of Christianity in the configuration of the current forms of subjection? Are there any Christian phenomena according to which we could resist to those forms of subjection?
Kozlowski, Michal. "Fonctions du discours et figures du sujet : Michel Foucault, théoricien de la liberté." Paris, EHESS, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004EHES0073.
Full textMichel Foucault is often perceived as the one willing to deconstruct the very idea of the subject. In my analysis I attempt to show the contrary. Foucault's cautious work aims at the reconstruction of the concept of the subject in order to think it through both it its limitations and the possibilities to realiza its freedom. In that perspective I account for two key notions that Foucault works out : the one of the actuality abd the one of the genealogy. I introduce in Foucault theoretical structure the spinozian concept of conatus understood, as permanent will of the self-constitution of a subject by the subject. These three notions together let me account for political strategies of emancipation in the Foucaultian sense. The main argument developed in my dissertation leads to the conclusion that Michel Foucault far from being a new conservatism offers as a matter of the new visions of progressivism, a skeptical one perhaps but genuinely mature
Jacinthe, Fodnot. "L’éthique publique, de l’équité de la justice chez Rawls à la norme, la biopolitique et la vérité chez Foucault." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022PA080087.
Full textMy public ethics as a reflection between humanity and sovereignty shows a double contribution of the political subject and the state in the production of the values that we need collectively. The political subject brings a word or a speech inspired by the human fundamental needs and the human conditional of life. The human point of view discussed inside this work is also understood by the rawlsian inviolability of the person and the human rights as priority which express a lot of preoccupations toward mankind as dignified creatures. Moreover, the foucaldian biopolitics suggests a system of state control of the mankind as a biological being and also taking care of their human nature. The dynamism of the political subject is not able to weaken the state encouragement to increase the power, his enlightenment and his influence, and his perpetuity. The public ethics set up a space of justification and legitimization of the public decisions and the behavior of every body. That will be in the advantage of the well-being of the community collectively and the comfort of everybody specially when the commitment of the political subject brings him to tell the truth about himself, his life and the condition of life. John Rawls by his equity and his justice system provides values giving man and woman access to comfort and well-being in his well organized society against all sense of utilitarianism. Because, a society with constitutional democracy provides a system of values previously accepted for the absolute respect of the person, from which perceiving the equitable distribution of property (fundamental liberties, the distribution of the resources and the country’s wealth on the profit of desadvantaged and poor people, and values aiming for durable political consensus). Even though, the political and legal reality, the constancy of the fight justify mostly the effectiveness of those values
Pérez, Valérie. "(Se) gouverner selon la nature et la vérité : lire "Emile ou de l'éducation" de Jean-Jacques Rousseau avec Foucault et Deleuze." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA080133.
Full textThis work is attempt to discuss Rousseau's problematisation of education, using concepts drawn from contem-porary French philosophy. However, if one examines the relation between Foucault and Emile by em-ploying the concept of alèthurgie, one cannot but be struck by the figure of the governor in Emile, who appears in the text to be the guarantor and the condition for the emergence of an idea of truth within the narrative- a truth which is natural, which governs the activities of men, and which is deeply in-volved in the process of education. In his 2012 lectures at the College de France, published under the title ‘The government of the living,’ Michel Fou-cault strove "to develop the concept of government by the truth" through an analysis of the power relations within Oedipus. In particular, Foucault ana-lysed the relation between truth, knowledge, and the exercise of governmen-tal power. In this work, I examine the relation between Foucault’s analysis and Emile Rousseau’s novel Emile. The relation between them may seem paradoxical: after all, Foucault is concerned with truth, and Emile is a work of fiction. The government of childhood can also be illuminated by the Deleuzian concept of Becoming. The Becoming does have something to tell us about childhood, the emancipation of the individual, and about education as a life-long project
Cuestas, Fedra. "Marginalité et subjectivité." Paris 8, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA083988.
Full textEven though it is possible to consider that the problematic of marginality is new in philosophy, we investigate here authors who, without directly engaging in its study, have specifically worked on it. This research attempts to rescue the concept of marginality in the works of Foucault, Butler and Agamben, leading to find figures connected to a power that pushes them towards what would seem to be a limit. These figures allow one to embrace and delve into the mission they have initiated on questioning the concept of marginality. In this thesis, we address the subject of subjectivity consigned to the margins of the society. We pretend to reflect on the conditions that produce what is called marginality, to research the possible forms of subjectivity associated to it
Si bien se podría creer que la problemática de la marginalidad es nueva en filosofía, aquí se indaga en autores que sin dedicarse de manera directa a su estudio, han trabajado específicamente sobre ella. Una búsqueda que intenta rescatar el concepto de marginalidad en las obras de Foucault, Butler y Agamben, lleva a encontrarse con figuras vinculadas a un poder que las empuja hacia lo que parecería ser un límite. Estas figuras permiten interiorizarse y profundizar en la tarea por ellos iniciada de cuestionar el concepto de marginalidad. En esta tesis se aborda la temática de la subjetividad relegada a las márgenes de lo social. Se pretende reflexionar sobre las condiciones que producen aquello que es llamado la marginalidad, para indagar sobre las formas de subjetividad que vinculadas a ella son posibles

Full textThe philosopher artist is a either fantasized or disowned figure. Its very possibility represents the impossible border between philosophical discourse and artistic creation. Although Nietzsche invokes this polemical figure, he has not been able to establish the philosopher artist. Indeed he abandons it in favor of a reincarnated Dionysos, better armed to overcome the confrontation with Apollo. Here is, then, an orphan figure which seems to only refer to a romantic and idealistic nostalgia where philosophy, at last, would share its privileged objects as well as its analytical methods with artistic practice. The question should nonetheless be asked: through what means ought the philosopher artist carry together art and philosophy?This thesis attempts to reintroduce this “eternal” problem by investigating every step of the way the typical tensions that this figure convokes: form and content; metaphysics and phenomena; language and metaphor. Similarly, although Nietzsche is the central figure of this investigation, we will also call upon other and equally typical philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze, as well as Spinoza and Aristotle. However, the aim of the thesis is not to grasp once again these properly philosophical problems as their utterance should be tested through artistic practice. Rather than uselessly attempt to elect a figure without master nor limit, the thesis thus contemplates, each time, a solution through artistic creation, manifested in original choreographic creations. These creations were produced in parallel with the research and elaborate singular works of art based on the same questions as the thesis. They confer to the dissertation a certain plasticity that the purely philosophical argument may have lacked. Further, they abolish the border inasmuch as they confront the same constraints as the argument: Panopticon interrogates panoptism as studied by Foucault in Discipline and Punish; Amor Fati elaborates on the concept of “eternal return” developed by Nietzsche; Etre au Monde recasts the question of sensibility as explored by Merleau-Ponty; finally, L’Ethique strives to reinvest from a sensible point of view the architecture of the axiomatic work of Spinoza. Is it not the meaning of the philosopher artist? Experiment and feel to study the effects?

Full textFoucault's work, from the 1970s until his death in 1984, was marked by a critique of the "Oedipus complex", a concept essential to Freud. The radicalism of Foucault's critics would have implied, on the one hand, a certain distance from the psychoanalysts of his works and, on the other hand, that his readers take a certain distance from the Freudian letter. A fundamental detail to the understanding of this difficult interlocution: the references of the philosopher to the "Oedipus complex" were always formulated without presenting to his readers any quote from Freud. From within his own text, which systematically refers to the work of the psychoanalyst, Foucault summoned each time his interlocutor without ever giving him the floor. What reading of Freud would he have done? How could he write so much on the "Oedipus complex" without ever mentioning Freud? In order to identify the modalities, the aspects, the forms of this erased reading operation, we will approach the main Foucaldian references to the "Oedipus complex" and their negative logic
Lemoine, Simon. "Contributions à une philosophie du dispositif, Usages de Foucault." Poitiers, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011POIT5012.
Full textA significant part of human relations is unthought. Those invisible relations, are diffuse, heterogeneous, variegated, mediated, delayed, amplified, hybridized, beyond the thinking-understanding. In many places, those relations turn to the advantage of mechanisms. In other words, they lead the subject to do thousands of things that he would not have done on his own, and also gradually modeled the subject according to their goals (they have gradually modeled a subject ergonomic, persistent, oriented, etc. ). Those determined relations are taking place largely in the microphysical dimension, usually neglected. A careful study of mechanisms brings us to perceive the existence and importance of that largely unexplored continent

Full textMichel Foucault's work has been referenced by intellectuals of several disciplines and ideologies and has originated an intense and heterogeneous reception during the second half of the XX century in Argentina. This thesis offers the results of a research which central aim has been to explore and reconstruct the uses of Foucault's work by Argentina's intellectuals and social scientists. The research performed consisted in reviewing the ways those political- intellectual interventions have had impact in specific ways on the local culture and politics between 1958 and 1989. The research relied on critical reading of political-intellectual interventions and written documents, as well as files and secondary bibliography consulted. Sorne of the key participants of this movement were deeply interviewed to analyze the relationship between readers and readings. This research is placed in the field of intellectual history and, as case study, proposes a transdisciplinary approach which integrates tools and technique related to the intellectual and cultural history, the contemporary political theory and philosophy, and the cultural sociology. This work is based on the ideas' circulation and reception problems and the transcultural transfer
Karadaku, Dritan. "L'art de gouverner et la resistance au pouvoir : au delà des dichotomies." Paris 8, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA083507.
Full textFirst of all, this thesis develops two different meanings for the term democracy. The first, it's about contents and confrontation of divergent interests and the second it's about its institutional forms, i. E. As Démocratisme. While basing itself on Foucault, Deleuze, Rancière, and Arendt, we will get into the problematic of the relations between people and the institutional forms that the aforementioned produced. Then, starting from the analyzes of Lefort, Arendt and Balibar we will try to understand the way in which the old dichotomy “Greek-barbarian” reappears in the modernity of a renewed symbolic system. In the third chapter, in order to understand the forms of art to control and resistance the capacity, we will follow two different and similar methodologies at the same time: the genealogy of the power (Foucault) and the “schizo-analyzes” of Deleuze and Guattari. In the fourth chapter, we will analyze, starting from Foucault, Deleuze, Balibar, Rancière and Kant, the problems which appear in the dichotomies built on the opposition: Human rights - rights to the life, equality - inequality, State - civil society and totalitarian State - minimal State. Lastly, in the fifth chapter we will reconsider the problems generated from the relations between people or multitudes and political institutions. We will follow in this chapter the thought of Machiavelli and that of Spinoza. The people-institutions relations will be analyzed like a power struggle or a confrontation of powers. The result is an opinion which is built primarily around the concept of the common freedom of the human being. For this reason, we consider it perfectly current and a possible “leak-line”, in view of a properly political freedom
Chamkhi, Ismahène. "Normer l’intelligence des élèves : une analyse juridique foucaldienne." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Nantes Université, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023NANU3017.
Full textIs human intelligence a scientific subject like any other? Under what conditions can certain specialists, in the name of so-called scientific knowledge, describe a person as gifted, mentally retarded or normal? The authority of doctors and psychologists to establish standards of intelligence and evaluate people has been imposed in various institutions, particularly in schools, where the intelligence of pupils is assessed. A Foucauldian legal analysis sheds light on several points. Firstly, it helps to bring out the eminently social and political nature of a particular scientific object, 'intelligence', which is the result of a struggle between power and knowledge. Secondly, it critically deconstructs the authority of doctors and psychologists in the field of human intelligence. Finally, it opens the way to a critical reconstruction of the processes of production and evaluation of people in general, and of pupils in the context of school. From a methodological point of view, the proposed analysis contributes to demonstrate, in line with the project of legal analysis of (x), the relevance of legal analysis applied to an object considered to be a-legal. Legal analysis can then interrogate original objects regardless of their alleged legal status. The richness of its tools and categories makes it possible to provide an accomplished analysis, without the need, but also without the prohibition, to borrow methodologies and concepts from other disciplines. In this way, it is open to multidisciplinarity and, in this thesis, to the questions raised by Michel Foucault in Surveiller et punir
Roberto-Alba, Nelson Fernando. "Politique et subjectivation. Michel Foucault, Félix Guattari, Jacques Rancière." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022PA080062.
Full textThis thesis deals with the question of modes of subjectivation and their relationship with politics in Michel Foucault, Félix Guattari and Jacques Rancière. It is embedded in the field of political and social philosophy of the second half of the 20th century in France around the question: how modes of collective subjectivation are constituted in politics and how these collective subjectivations are at the origin of forms of political practice and agency? The analysis of the modes of subjectivation imposes itself in a particular way on each of these philosophers by a questioning of politics, inseparable from a critique of the production processes of a subjugated, disciplined, normalized, placed and serialized individual. However, subjugation and objectification of the subject are only part of these new theoretical undertakings. They also relate to an exploration of creative forms of subjectification that remain irreducible to the subjugation in which they were produced, to the point of triggering new ways of conceiving and practicing politics itself. Despite the heterogeneity of these three social and political philosophies, we identify encounters, intersections and bifurcations, notably between Foucault and Guattari as well as between Foucault and Rancière, in specific files of journals from the seventies (Recherches, Les révoltes logiques) and experiences within militant movements (GIP, CERFI, CRIR) which constantly question the current forms of political organization, contestation and subjectivation. Politics presents itself for these philosophers at the margins of the analysis and the critical examination of several philosophical works which, relating the question of the subject to that of subjectification, not only end up questioning politics as political power, redistribution of sensitive or semiotic operator, but also as what remains outside mainstream (institutional) understanding of politics: neither management nor self- management of States, nor exercise of power, a matter of group decision-making or party strategies competing for a social representation, politics is related to the production of new forms of subjectivation and the recreation of meaning, of techniques and of practices that make it possible to establish unexpected relationships with the radical alterity of the world

Full textThis thesis is about the famous debate between Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. The aim is to propose a new vision of the relation between their respective thoughts during the 1960s. More precisely, our analysis tries to build a discussion between Foucault and Derrida by focusing on the problem of (the) History in their own works. Actually, the real subject of their debate is less the function of madness in the Cartesian discourse than the essence of history. Through the works of Foucault and Derrida published during the 1960s, an implicit but persistent discussion between the two authors about the problem of history can be built. Firstly, our text attempts to establish the conception of history mobilised by Derrida in his reading of Foucault’s book Madness and Civilization. Furthermore, it underlines the way The Order of Things suggests a solid response to the Derridean interpretation of Descartes’s first meditation and reveals its anachronistic aspect. Secondly, it addresses the fashion which Foucault wishes to distance himself from for the continuous history sustained by the Hegelian and Husserlian tradition. In order to do this, it was absolutely necessary to understand correctly the discourse’s analyses that underpin the discontinuous history. Thirdly, our text highlights how Derrida dismantles the core of the continuous history which he mobilises against the Foucauldian archaeology. In the conclusion, our text suggests that archaeological history could have been the “concept” of history that the Derridean deconstruction has been searching after 1967
Colrat, Paul. "Le mythe du philosophe-roi : savoir, pouvoir et salut dans la philosophie politique de Platonε." Thesis, Normandie, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019NORMC005.
Full textThe question of the philosophers’ reign can only be understood at the cost of a detour through the margins of classical politics. First of all, I have shown that these margins have historically been defined by a discourse focusing on the relationship between kingdom, knowledge and salvation (chapter 1). I have then shown that the notion of kingdom itself, when it is attributed to philosophers, positions itself in the margins of the notion of basilein, while actively subverting its classical meaning (chapter 2). The discourse about the philosophers’ reign must therefore be understood as an attempt coming from the margins of politics to use the traditional relation between the muthos and political unification, in order to subvert it, namely, to depose it. This required me to explore the way in which the philosopher can simultaneously be in the margins of politics and at the very foundation of politics (chapter 4). The philosopher’s position in the city is doubly marginal: first, he is not subject to the imperative to be useful to the city (chapter 5), and secondly, he is not subject to the imperative to ground knowledge in experience (chapter 6). Finally, I have set out to show that the philosophers’ reign inscribes itself within a quest for the city’s salvation, a theme that is itself marginal in Plato studies, and deserves more attention than it has hitherto received (chapter 7)
Horrein, Raphaël. "Panopticons, fictions, actualités : sémiotique de la surveillance, entre littérature et discours social." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020PA080074.
Full textThis thesis offers tools for a better understanding of the concept of surveillance in today’s society, based on its portrayal in utopias and dystopias. We notice a ubiquitous surveillance in every political regime depicted. This surveillance expresses itself in so many different ways that none of the numerous models formulated across the social sciences allow for an exhaustive account. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive theoretical tool that explains that heterogeneity. We base this tool on M. Foucault’s panopticon, while taking into account and going beyond its different criticisms. Our contemporary panopticons should not be seen as buildings with a singular architecture, but rather as abstract relations called “panoptic” because of their asymmetrical structure. Therefore, the subject cannot be certain that he/she is actually or metaphorically being monitored. Therefore, he/she is bound to internalize the idea of a watcher, to act according to a fiction, the “I believe I am being watched.” We examine the semiotic consequences of this fiction: how surveillance can create a new form of life, but also how the monitored can create new ways to inhabit the world by choosing to resist and to disappear. This literary research is a form of resistance in itself. Through “essays on literary semiotics of the social world,” our analysis of literary works gives us the means to develop a critical outlook on contemporary socio-political events

Faure-Carricaburu, Emmanuel. "La hiérarchie des genres dans l’Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture : institution, discours, œuvres." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA080045.
Full textThe hierarchy of genres has long been presented by art historians with an interest in the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, as the symbol of an « official doctrin » supposedly dominating the institution. Because it was never meticulously defined in conjonction with the study of archives such as statutes and conference reports, it slowly became common knowledge, to the point where the complexity of its terminology was sometimes reduced to nothing more than the foreword to Conférences by Félibien. So it became the subject of a theoretical conflict between on the one hand detractors of the Academy, which they accused of suffocating the creativity of artists, and on the other, people who believed in its rehabilitation against the exaggerations of traditional historiography since the 19th century. The perspective of this research takes root in the cracks of these approaches : because questioning the institutional meaning and function of the hierarchy of genres, as well as the internal resistance to it, allows us to assess the Academy as the host of a conflict born from the connection between the notions of art and power one can find within. My focus is precisely the incorporation of this rule within a program (in Foucault’s sense of the term) – which materialised through the writing of the statutes of 1663, which afford superior status to history painting over other genres, as well as through the production of an official discourse. The work of Desportes, Santerre, Chardin for instance are all responsible for destablising hardened genre identities through regulations, and they suggest a prolific line of thought relating to the use of the dynamic notion of genres

We, in our turn, have applied this method to foucault's work, which we have revisited, starting our study from its collateral works. We offer a singular reading of his work, relying mamily on his dits et ecrits. We have enhanced the value of the notion of ascesis, and asked more globally the question of the subject and subjectivation in a work witch intends to do without reference to its author. "who is subject?" "what is the event?" foucault's ascesis is a specific form of ascesis, devoted to the double task of downgrading and the making of the self. According to us, it opens out, by the practices it involves, on to a space of its own, which has to be characterized (fiction, distance, awe. . . ). Through this approach, we get back to the question of archives and their relation to history, with its political implications

Full textFrom a very early stage, the resistance to psychoanalysis has been a necessary indication of its pertinence. How can psychoanalysis deal with this résistance in the epistemological field? This study will return to Freud to try and assess his attitude towards this résistance - the place of the impossible - in order to establish the role that dissident theories play in his own texts, and outline their intertextual dynamic. In order to understand the very essence of the résistance, one would need to reflect on the articulation - pointed out by Freud - between the resistance to psychoanalysis and Judaism. What is conveyed by these two discourses that makes them the target of resentment? This thesis seeks to show how different theories, that have dissented from Freudianism, try in different ways to re-incorporate elements of pre-monotheistic and idolatrous theology in order to avoid castration. The "individual" resistance during treatment and the "collective" one in the epistemological field will be treated as the components of a clinical field of idolatry that would summon a particular modality for its disarmament

Full textThis thesis deals with the works of film critic Serge Daney and Jean-Luc Godard’s Histoire(s) du cinema, which I will interpret on the basis of Maurice Blanchot’s notion of “critique”, Jacques Derrida’s notion of “supplément” and Michel Foucault’s concept of “commentaire”. I will argue that Daney’s texts and Godard’s montages function as criticism and commentaries that perpetuate a “supplement of cinema”. While Blanchot's criticism “completes” the work of art (in this case the film) by interpreting it, Derrida's supplement signifies a lack of meaning in the act of writing, Foucault's notion of commentary allows to go beyond the dimension of the singular work and to refer to cinema as a concrete epistemological object, a primary text ("the cinema"). According to Foucault the commentary repeats a primary text while preserving its inexhaustible potential of meaning. Based on this thought, I will approach Daney’s and Godard's works from a post-cinema perspective. In the digital age in which cinema has undergone various transformations, the meaning of the concept of “cinema” is constantly being re-evaluated. Unlike a general understanding of cinema as apparatus, place or specific medium, I conceive cinema as a text that constantly needs to be interpreted and supplemented

Through this attachment in the question of the present, It is question in this thesis to show " beyond the breaks, beyond the methodological changes " that between the archaeologist ( 1961 ), the genealogist ( 1975 ) and the "last one Foucault ( 1984 )", there is strong links and not breaks of the methodological failures or even bends. Our analysis attempts to reveal the footbridges which bind (connect) these " three periods ": the first works on the knowledge and that where Foucault wonders about the problem of the knowledge and the power in that, later, where Foucault concentrates mainly on the study of the texts of the Greco-Roman philosophy

Full textThe writings of Foucault are astonishing for the all but inexplicable way in which they invite us to suspend our beliefs regarding the history of either a problem or an institution – indeed, even the history of our own society. But how is this extraordinary feat accomplished ? Foucault develops his archaeology and genealogy along three main axes of the human experience: knowledge, power, and ethics. But do these all follow the same temporal restraints ? He claims that they are dominated by two distinct temporalities. One is superficial and continuous; the other is basic but discontinuous. Towards the end of his life, Foucault sketched a new research program, which he called "a historical and critical ontology of ourselves". This program requires a perspective that is at once epistemological, political, and ethical. For Foucault, it is no longer acceptable to use a single or dual axis, such as the power-knowledge axis, in order to pursue his research. Three are necessary. Foucault tells us that the interaction between knowledge, power, and ethics should be understood from a systematic point of view. But what exactly does this mean ? For we know that his work has always been in opposition to any idea of a system of thought ? Foucault was able to formulate the necessity of a "systematic" thought because his work already had an essential coherence to it. This coherence is inextricably linked to the three realms of experience: they all are divided in two strata ; the first one is immediately accessible, and the second one is mediated, and radical. In this scheme, the dimension of time necessarily overlaps with the dimension of order

Full textThe works of foucault bring about an ensemble of problems in which we tried to treat in this work. From one period to another, we encounter a diversity of tone, style and subject among the works the destination and purpose seem uncertain. In particular, two moments reflect this discontinuity: between l'archeologie du savoir et surveiller et punir, foucault changes or seems to change methods; between la volonte de savoir et l'usage des plaisirs et le souci de soi, the project even of a story of sexuality seems to orient itself in a different way. In our opinion, the changes which accent foucault's path represent different moments of the same questioning that can be explained in different ways, but does not constitute less of a coherent path. In our opinion, foucault's fundamental problem was always disecting the processes of subject formation, and making clearer the knowledge which discreetly participates in his constitution. This hypothesis is based on the research of "literary" works: a collection of articles by literary critics; on the other hand we studied the inedited between 1976 and 1984. The first part of this research allowed us to confirm that already at the beginning of the 60's, foucault thought about a series of concepts that will be the basis of his archeo-genealogical method. The second part of this work allowed us to establish the existance of a certain graduality between 1976 and 1984 : in l'usage des plaisirs, foucault does not mention the genealogy of. .

Full textThis research explores the possibility to work in the wake of Foucault's work, conceived it as a certain philosophical practice consisting in constantly opening the field of philosophy to its 'outsides' and connecting the history of a concept with the historical framework of an experience of thought. The core of this archaeological and genealogical method is the relation between philosophical and historical practices and the use of the historical constructions to complete a philosophical task : to reveal and destabilize our present. Thus, to resume the interrupted task of the "historical ontology of ourselves" means considering Foucaldian genealogies as "machines" to be tested on the historical ground, which also involve a specific practice of practice of history. The genealogy of the scientific and political concept of "population" is here considered in an historical-critical perspective : this history can both clarify the specificity of the Foucaldian reading of "biopolitics" and question its results, assumptions and interpretations. Through the historical genealogy of the object "population" I want , on the one hand, to fight the idea that the concept was "invented" by a dominant scientific and political complex and on the other hand to reveal the multiple power relations, events and struggles that underlie its appearence. The emergence of "population" is thus placed within a history of governmentality which culminated in the middle of the eighteenth century, when a liberal governing art became dominant and the word "population" widely used

Full textThe aim of this Ph. D. Is to show the present relevance of Freud's socio-clinical project by clarifying thecche aut malaise in contemporary society. Based upon the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan and the political philosophy of Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, the present work proposes a psychoanalytic anthropology of bio-political society, in other words it draws a parallel between the pathogenesis that characterises modem society (clinique du social) and the pathology of the subject as expressed nowadays through the body and its vicissitudes (clinique du cas). One of the main issues of this work has been that of a critical approach of the explanation of bodily phenomena (primarily psychosomatic ones) by means of the post-modem theory of symbolic collapse. Indeed, the interest of this research into psychosomatic-dermatological phenomena consists in the exploration of this type of phenomena in relation to the processes of desymbolization (homo sacer, to be a body, formless) and bio-symbolisation (bio-political subject, to have a body, forms-of-life) which are characteristic of the apparatus (dispositifs) of subjectivization in late modernity

Full textInstead of to reduce itself to an area, the work of michel foucault proceeds to the cross-roads of various disciplines. In our perspective, we do not propose a new study of the history on the thought of foucault. We wish, concerning what we consider as a problematisation on the abnormality, to make rise a meditation that could be set out the next manner: in which measure a problematisation on the abnor, mality can be accompanied by the work of foucault, if we consider this constant link in its researches between the gap to the norm on the one hand, the society and the policies on the other hand. The true question remains to know if it can exist a society in which the power doesn't need abnormalities, illegalisms. Does not the penal machinery, as noted foucault, have for function, rather than to aim to the extinction of the abnormalities, to aim on the contrary to their control, to their maintenance in a certain balanced state which could economically be useful and politically fertile? To reply to this question we have envisaged the connection between the subject and the games of truth from either the coercive practices as in the case of the psychiatry and the penitentiary system, either through the practices of oneself that, according to foucault, represents an important phenome, non in our societies since the greek and roman period, even if it has not been sufficiently studied. Power, truth and abnormal subject, here are therefore the three axes from which we have ex, amined the work of foucault before determining it exact impact in the judicial and penal, epistemology

Full textIn this study, the works of Foucault were chronologically examined. Analysis was made on the development of his philosophical method known as archaeology, and on its dominant topic : the subject. Foucault treated the concept of subject as an operational concept, through which his research was realized. Through the 1960s, in parallel with the development of archaeology, he criticized the epistemic function of the subject, which was the very basis of Human Sciences. At the end of the 1960s, through a radical reconstruction of the archaeological method, he discovered a new object of research the discourse. On the basis of such methodological change, the new research examined the status of the subject differently. The concept of "subjectification" was introduced in order to describe a dynamic process interrelated with the function of power, in which subjectivity is formed. This process of subjectification further introduced the dimension of ethics

This research refers mainly to Jacques Lagrange’s unpublished manuscripts related to courses offered by Michel Foucault at École Normale Supérieure de Paris, and deposited at Institut Mémoires de l’Édition Contemporaine. It also refers to those by Michel Foucault himself recently deposited at Bibliothèque Nationale de France. The latter focus on files concerning the 1950s –a period not to be ignored if one intends to understand the development of his researches, in order to apprehend the role of Psychology in Michel Foucault’s philosophical problematic. This research intends to show that – leaving from a discourse on psykhé (Psychology) and reaching a conduction of psykhé (Psykhogogía) - , Foucault’s considerations adopt an anti-psychologic posture, while they allow a new understanding of subjectivity

Full textThe object of the following text appears as a genealogy of risk. This appearance is conveyed first through a reading of the sociological meaning risk has taken, according to which risk concerns the very structure of modern society. Thus the genealogy we undertake will concern the birth of the object called 'society', which indeed appears firstly as a new type of objectivity. In order to grasp the meaning of this latter concept, understood as a discursive function, we propose to 'read' – in the texts of so-called classical sociology – "society" as a function on a (discursive) field of naturality. Based on this thesis an account is developed of the paradoxical nature of naturality, which paradox can be expressed as the 'internal outside of society'. This paradox will allow us to fully appreciate the genealogical meaning of risk, which will then appear as the dispositif that expresses and reinforces the paradox which is inherent to the nature of society

Full textInvestigating the problem of the historical and the tanscendantal in michel foucault's works enabled me to reveal the author's most constant preoccupation, which was to give a transposition of the "critical" question of the conditions of possibility of knowledge that would allow it to escape from the deadends of the transcendantal theme (understood as anthropologized). Moreover, studying foucault's three main philosophical sources (kant, nietzsche, heidegger) led me to discover, for each stage of the author's intellectual development, the lack of a sound and consistant enough theoretical foundation. Henceforth, i tried to pinpoint and identify the recurrent guises of the transcendantal theme infoucault's work, mostly by analyzing the notions of "episteme", "historical a priori", "power knowledge" and "problematization"

Full textBetween 1976 and 1979, Michel Foucault elaborates the concept of "biopower", which indicates the moment when, around the 18th century, life itself - the individuals and the populations - becomes part of the mechanisms of power and an essential stake in politics. At the beginning of the eighties, Foucault's work seems to branch out into a reflection about ethics. Rather than a rupture, one can see appearing a fundamental quadrilateral of concepts, which joins together truth, power, subject and life. Among those concepts, the one which has interested Foucault least is the one of life. In order to elaborate it, we've taken here two ways: a renewal of an ontological mode of thought, in order to clarify the relationship between life and subjectivity and an explanation of the function of sciences in biopower necessitating a critique of epistemology. Our aim is to question the involvement of life in politics. In each case, the assumption in play is that life cannot be conceived separately from subjectivity

Full textStarting from the research of the Czech phenomenologist Jan Patočka and the studies of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, this thesis investigates the question of the care – of the self, for the soul, of the others, of the world – as a form of ethical relationship. In the twilight of the traditional value systems, the ethical perspective in researches on the notion of care enables a redefinition of collective responsibility.The starting point is a paragraph of the Foucault’s last course at the Collège de France (Courage Of Truth), where the philosopher refers to Patočka’s work. Foucault marks a separation between his work, focused on the theme of the bios, as opposed to that of Patočka, centred on the issue of the psyche. According to Foucault, his own research on epimeleia heautou as problematization and stylization of the self is different from that of Patočka, who is interested in the ontological and epistemological facets of the concept of soul .First, Foucault’s thesis encourages an analysis of the meaning of the word “soul” in the context of the asubjective phenomenology developed by Patočka. Second, it suggests to focus on the notion of “self” in last texts of Foucault.Questioning the relationship between the processes of subjectivation and the bios as a “style of existence”, we start considering life as ontological horizon of being in common. This thinking allows for the possibility of “care for the bios” as both “bond of life” and “way of life”: as critical ontology of the conditions that govern the recognition of life as ontological dimension of being in common, on the one hand; and as ethical attitude to protect the bios’s vulnerability on the other
A partire dalle riflessioni del fenomenologo cèco Jan Patočka e dagli studi del filosofo francese Michel Foucault, questa ricerca intende esplorare il tema della cura – di sé, dell’anima, degli altri, del mondo – in quanto forma di relazione etica. Nell’eclissi dei sistemi valoriali tradizionali, le ricerche sulla nozione di cura possono offrire una prospettiva etica capace di riformulare i termini della responsabilità collettiva. Il punto di partenza è un passaggio dell’ultimo corso di Foucault al Collège de France (Il coraggio della verità), dove il filosofo fa riferimento al pensiero di Patočka. Foucault riconosce all’autore ceco di essere stato il solo autore contemporaneo ad aver approfondito il principio antico dell’epimeleia. Tuttavia, secondo Foucault, la propria personale ricerca – articolata attorno alla nozione di epimeleia heautou, cioè di cura come messa alla prova, problematizzazione e stilizzazione di sé – differirebbe da quella di Patočka, più interessata allo studio dell’epimeleia tes psyches, ossia all’anima sotto il profilo ontologico e gnoseologico.Innanzitutto, la tesi di Foucault incoraggia un’analisi del significato del termine “anima” nel contesto della fenomenologia asoggettiva elaborata da Patočka. In secondo luogo, invita a studiare la nozione di “sé” presente negli ultimi testi di Foucault. Indagando i rapporti tra i processi singolari di soggettivazione e il bios in quanto “modo di vita” o “stile di esistenza”, si arriva a porre il problema della vita in quanto orizzonte ontologico dell’essere in comune. Ci si interroga così sulla possibilità di una cura del bios che sia insieme “legame di vita” e “modo di vita”: cura del bios come ontologia critica delle condizioni che rendono possibile il riconoscimento della vita, intesa come dimensione della coappartenenza, e allo stesso tempo attitudine etica a farsi carico della sua vulnerabilità

Full textThis thesis consists of four parts: I. Archaeology and genealogy, II. Micropower and government, III. Liberty and care of self, IV. Birth of nominalist anthropology. In part I, archaeology evolves toward a critical-rational method, while genealogy applies to the polemical position against the theoretical-speculative visions of the world. Part II deals with the micropower Foucault reveals with “discipline” as total individualising socio-control. Then the micropower reveals itself as physical-moral relations of power which enable this “discipline” to exist. Nevertheless, it integrates the nominalist conception of power as strategic relation between social agents. And it is in this context that we find the forerunner of the conception of “government”. As power consists in “government” (a conducting relation between free individuals), it is no longer opposed to individual liberty as practice of the self-subjectifying will. This conception of liberty treated in part III is drawn from the histories of the “care of self”. Foucault problematizes this care of self with the “techniques of self” which accompany it as practical matrix. In fact, he repositions them in the context of the care of self with “the greatness of mind”. Concerning nominalism (which is treated in part IV), Foucault asserts that history takes an interest in the factual truths of specific events. Thus nominalism joins Foucault's anthropology as his found-again ultimate horizon. This renewed tendency means there is a nominalist return to anthropology

Full textThis work intends to study three notions essential to Foucault : episteme, speech, power as referring at the same time to different phasis in the theoritical evolution of the author. So the question is to observe a thought in its moments of mutation, even of erisis. Consequently, we are concerned with an opened work, in a perpetual removal. That verifies the methodological importance of "l'archeologie du savoir". Meanwhile, if such a work reveals itsely very important for our study, it's not because it takes place in a reflexive form of a "theory of the method" but because it establishes a new object for history: the speech, regarded here with a differential point of view and no more with a totalising one, as it was with "les mots et les choses". Therefore, the two works stumble on the same obstacle : the reducing explanation of knowledge by knowledge. "surveiller et punir" and "la volonte de savoir" will outline admirably that dilemna in developing by the hypothesis of a necessary correlation between knowledge and power, what will be the elaboration of a new point of view on power : the relationnal point of view. But Foucault will paradoxically present power in its relation with resistance (which is opposed to it) : an omnipresent power, and a resistance which can only be then obliged to resort to a third dimension which is not reducible neither to knowledge nor to power : the dimension of the subjectivation, such as the Foucault's two last work, "l'usage des plaisirs "and" le souci de soi" present it to us. Foucault's thought will then finally take on the form of a triple historical ontology of knowledge, power and subjectivation (and not of subject)
