▼ Le projet de recherche que j'ai réalisé avec ma thèse, entre les universités de Pisa et de Créteil, a eu pour objectif d'analyser les lectures particulières de l'œuvre de Nietzsche que l'on peut retrouver dans la pensée de Foucault et qui influencent les différentes périodes de son travail. Les aspects de Nietzsche que Foucault assume comme fond conceptuel dans ses propres œuvres et qui influencent sa méthode critique ne sont pas univoques, mais montrent au contraire des différences spécifiques correspondant aux différentes périodes de son travail.Pour mieux comprendre la lecture que Foucault fait de Nietzsche le travail se développe autour de l'analyse des aspects conceptuels qui viennent (selon Foucault lui-même ou par des vérifications thématiques évidentes) de la pensée de Nietzsche, confrontant la position de Foucault avec celles des autres auteurs qui se sont rapportés à Nietzsche et qui ont été significatifs pour Foucault même (allant de Blanchot à Bataille, Klossowski et Deleuze).Enfin il a été possible de montrer, dans ma recherche, qu'il existe un Nietzsche qui a influencé l'Histoire de la folie, un Nietzsche tragique et dionysiaque qui refuse la pensée du ratio moderne, la subjectivité métaphysique du cogito et qui permet à Foucault de donner à l'expérience de la folie une valeur positive et de comprendre, en même temps, les expériences du langage de la littérature contemporaine. En outre, qu'il existe un Nietzsche de la généalogie, qui a permis à Foucault d'approfondir le rapport entre le langage, le ratio et la subjectivité, à travers le concept d'épistème. Et qu'il existe, finalement, un Nietzsche qui donne de la valeur à la sagesse grecque dans la direction de l'esprit libre, et d'un sujet conscient de sa propre finitude, qui peut s'assumer le risque de créer soi-même les valeurs de sa propre existence. Ces “différents” Nietzsche parcourent la pensée de Foucault et – comme je l'ai souligné avec ma thèse – en représentent les étapes théoriques.
The project of the research I realized in my thesis, with the universities of Pisa and Créteil, has the aim of analizing the particular readings of Nietzsche's work we find in Foucault's thought and that influence different periods of his work. Nietzsche's aspects that Foucault assumes as conceptual background of his works and that influence his critic method are not univocal, but on the contrary show specific differences which correspond to different periods of his work.To better understand the reading that Foucault makes of Nietzsche, this work developes the analysis of the conceptual aspects that proceed (for admission of the same Foucault or by evident thematic examinations) from the thought of Nietzsche and compares the position of Foucault with those of other authors, who were related to Nietzsche and who were important for Foucault (from Blanchot, to Bataille, to Klossowski, to Deleuze).In my research it was possible to show the existence of three Nietzsches. A Nietzsche who influenced the History of madness, a tragic and dionysiac Nietzsche who refuses…

▼ In 1978, Michel Foucault introduced his genealogy of the modern state, or alternatively, what he termed governmentality in which politics is understood as the product of rationalities which make up rule. Foucault’s problematic was to uncover the rationalities of bio-power or bio-politics which is situated within liberal rule. For Foucault, liberalism is to be viewed as a philosophy of rule that concerned itself with the rationality that the state may be governing too heavily and which increasingly divested itself of its regulatory capacities and consequently sought to guide the conduct of the population through often indirect and distanced means. Subsequently, others have built upon Foucault’s work on liberalism and have concluded that the phrase governing through freedom adequately characterizes liberal philosophies of rule. However, numerous critiques have been raised concerning the contention that liberalism brought with it a substantiated increase in freedom. It is this critique that the current research wishes to expand upon by using the case of the Aboriginal peoples throughout Canada between the eighteenth and nineteenth century to display that the concept of governing through freedom is far too restricted and that the governmentality literature often presents an incomplete account of classical liberalism.

▼ Many histories of marijuana prohibition see the 1960s and 1970s as a time of relatively lax attitudes towards marijuana use. Scholars have argued that higher rates of usage and the fact that marijuana was being used by an increasing number of middle-class whites led to a softening of the penalties for low-level offenses. However, focusing solely on policy and failing to scrutinize how the discourse on drugs worked to marginalize users and underwrite enforcement efforts overlooks the extent to which this era represents a time of increasing obsession with controlling marijuana and other drug use.
Michel Foucault’s work on the relationship between knowledge and power provides a useful framework through which this discourse can be elucidated.
Foucault describes discourse as both productive and disciplinary: it produces categories of knowledge and simultaneously regulates what can be known through what it includes, excludes, or limits. Thus, it exerts a power distinct from the coercive power of the law: the power to determine the acceptability of a behavior and what is known about it. To analyze this discourse, I rely on two main forms of sources: print media and drug education materials. Newspaper and magazines provide a sense of how the “drug problem” was framed in the media, while government-sponsored drug education efforts are crucial to examining how the prohibitionist discourse was propagated and institutionalized.
The popular discourse on marijuana and other drugs constituted an official discursive “truth,” a body of knowledge that justified the mechanisms, including law enforcement and drug education that enforced and normalized a prohibitive stance towards marijuana in the late 1960s and early 1970s. A Foucauldian approach to marijuana prohibition is significant because it considers discourse as a form of power that produced categorical frameworks through which drug use was perceived, rather than only considering legal restrictions. We must move beyond a policy-centered approach and look at discourse as a form of disciplinary power that can regulate and define citizen bodies and actions, and direct our attention to the ways this discourse itself is policed in order to understand how the systems of power that supported prohibition were maintained.

▼ This thesis aims to problematise and denaturalise the current dominant, empowerment infused early childhood education (ece) assessment discourse in Aoteaora New Zealand through a Foucauldian discourse analysis. It addresses a two-part question: How is contemporary ece assessment constructed in New Zealand, and, what is effected by this construction? Texts about contemporary ece assessment in New Zealand written by local ece scholars and practitioners as well as narrative assessment examples drawn from the Ministry of Education (2004) Kei Tua o te Pae, Assessment for Learning: Early Childhood Exemplars resource provide data for the analysis. The analysis is conducted in procedurally specified as well as open, associative, and playful modes.
Contemporary ece assessment in New Zealand is found to be constructed as a new, post-developmental, morally desirable and secular salvation practice that is underpinned by principles of social justice, plurality and diversity. However, a consideration of key discursive truth-objects and their mobilisation within narrative assessments suggests that ece assessment may be implementing a boundless and normalising regime for the government of selves and others, and producing significant regulatory effects for children, teachers and whānau/ family.
It is argued that ece assessment, as a technology of government, works to construct self responsible, self optimising, and permanently performing child-subjects. Such norms for self government map closely onto those that are promoted within neoliberal governmentalities. Ece assessment can therefore, at least in part, be understood as both a technique and effect of neoliberal rationalities of government. The ongoing status and dominant construction of ece assessment as an empowering, socially just practice is seen to be problematic. It stifles debate about early childhood spaces, and it is implicated in the constraint of multiple possibilities for the government of selves and others.

▼ This thesis explores the subjective experiences of New Zealand men who identify as gay and Christian. In particular, the study questions why gay men attend churches that have traditionally not welcomed or supported them. A small number of international studies have investigated gay men who have left the Church but there are few studies of those who stay. This research uses the work of Michel
Foucault to theorise the contours of gay Christianity.
Foucault's work has been little used in the sociology of religion. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with twelve men who identified as gay and Christian. Transcripts were examined using theoretically based thematic analysis, and three resulting themes are explored. The first theme describes religious exclusion of gay men and the value of supportive networks for gay Christians. The second theme theorises the concept of religious belief as both a type of knowledge/power and a practice, as well as exploring connections between religion and power. The third theme focuses on subjectivity, analysing ways in which those interviewed constructed an integrated gay and Christian self. Church attendance by gay men is attributed to three factors summarised as reasons of faith, reasons of fellowship and reasons of identity. These findings contribute to academic literature concerning religion, gay identity and
Foucault, and there is scope for further research in these areas. The use of
Foucault's work in this way may contribute to theoretical and methodological developments in the sociology of religion.

▼ My experience of learning and performing Arnold Schoenberg’s song cycle, Das Buch der hängenden Gärten, can be explored through the lens of Foucault’s ‘docile bodies’ theory – that is, bodies that are ‘subjected, used, transformed, improved’. Participating in the disciplinary practice of self-policing, my obedience to the social, cultural and musical orders shaping western art song performance is enforced through self-imposed internalisation of normative practices and values. The singer’s body – my own body – is regulated in the Foucauldian sense; ‘disciplined’ through training and conditioning to align with normative practices, and, simultaneously, I act as ‘discipliner’ through self-imposed policing and monitoring of my body. The compulsive need to engage in the acts and processes of discipline implies inherent deficiency or deviance; the body must be transformed and ‘corrected’ through the processes of discipline that reflect the internalised value systems a body is measured against.
In this exegesis, I explore my processes of self-regulation as disciplined and discipliner, investigating an intersection of ideals and tensions in my pursuit of technical command of vocal technique, obedience to the score, and the expectation of emotional abandon that an expressionist song cycle demands. Framed through narratives of ‘service’ and ‘prohibition’, I position the political anatomy of an eroticised, reproductive female body, exploring resistance and ‘rupture’ through the sexual agency of a disobedient and disruptive female singer.

▼ In the last decade there has been a renewed interest in the employment of Action Research within Psychology. Action Research is an orientation to inquiry, rather than a distinct method. It involves democratisation of the research process – i.e. knowledge created about a community should be created with that community. Participants are engaged in as much of the research process as possible – from formulation of research question to write up. Its value has been recognized in its capacity to empower participants, through the co-creation of knowledge, to understand and act to change their situations. Thus power here is viewed as a commodity – something to be passed between those who have it and those who don’t. It is argued here that adopting this conception of power proves inadequate to attain goals of empowerment. Instead I outline Foucault’s alternative view on the nature of power.
Foucault outlines a notion of power as a complex network of relations, bound together by discourse, knowledge and the production of truth. This alternative view offers a novel way of understanding the relationship between the researcher and researched. By examining the manifestation of Foucault’s notions within six exemplary psychological action research studies, I demonstrate that working within this outdated conception, action research can in fact have unintended disempowering effects.

▼ This thesis seeks to unpack the notions of Michael Foucault's late work on governmentality and what insights it might have for understanding the ‘governing of nature’. In doing this it also operates as a critique of what is often termed 'resourcism', a way of evaluating nature which only accounts for its utility for human use and does not give any acceptance to the idea of protecting nature for its own sake, or any conception of a nature that cannot be managed. By utilizing a study of the govern-mentalities emerging throughout liberalism, welfare-liberalism and neoliberalism I argue that this form of 'knowing' nature-as-resource has always been internal to rationalities of liberal government, but that the bracketing out of other moral valuations to the logic of the market is a specific function of neoliberal rationalities of governing.
I then seek to offer an analysis of the implications for this form of nature rationality, in that it is becoming increasingly globalized, and with that bringing more aspects of nature into metrics for government, bringing new justifications for intervening in ‘deficient’ populations under the rubric of ‘sustainable development. I argue, that with this a new (global) environmental subject is being constructed; one that can rationally assess nature-as-resource in a cost-benefit logic of wise-use conservation. This acts to both marginalize those people that have alternative understandings for our relationship with nature is destructive to nature itself, further embedding the more-than-human into the economic rationality of neoliberal resourcism.

▼ This thesis elucidates science as a social institution through the prism of a critical examination of the work of Michel Foucault and Jurgen Habermas. I consider the role of science in relation to all aspects of society: morality, religion and social institutions such as democracy and the economy. This requires a consideration of the operation of power, as well as processes of socialisation and the formation of particular forms of subjectivity. Science is viewed in relation both to all the other high cultural discourses such as philosophy and art as well as the everyday lifeworld and commonsense. Common commitments arise from the two thinkers’ relation to the tradition of the Enlightenment and its continuation in Critical Theory. Neither disputes the truth of modern science in general. They want to expose the false pretensions of various attitudes towards science and their power effects. They draw on broad contexts to view categories of thought which are revealed as not given by nature, but historically conditioned and distorted by power. Both recognise the need for a more reflexive perspective and see philosophy as able to articulate social problems not visible from the specialised perspectives of science. Habermas wants to endorse cultural modernity by taking its knowledge and interpreting it for contemporary society, to show not only the limitations of science but, its emancipatory potential. By viewing science in harness with critical theory, he offers a developmental account, whereby the sciences are linked to cognitive advances of distanciation and differentiation. Foucault is more sceptical in his theorising, and more wary in his assessment of the human sciences and their ubiquitous power effects. His genealogical stance suspends commitment to science which he relativises as a “regime of truth”. Rather than comparing and judging one or the other to be more correct, or seeking to reconcile their differences, I want to maintain the tension between the two projects such that we neither have to reconcile nor choose between them. If we attend not only to what Foucault and Habermas say about science, but how they employ science, we can see their projects as two different aspects of the self-reflexivity of modern thought, which both posits its own foundations and remains open to criticism.

▼ Human sexuality is a product of sociocultural and historical constructs. In modern, contemporary society, pornography has emerged as the dominant form of sexual discourse, transforming the human body as an object to be manipulated, shaped, and trained. In this thesis, I will argue that pornography is the vehicle for disciplinary practices that transforms human bodies into sexual bodies that are mere representations of itself. As Michel
Foucault describes it in Discipline and Punish (1977), discourse does not function all by itself to produce effects of power, but, rather, the efficacy of discourse is tied to the systematic and calculated use of force by definite agents on definite human bodies. Modern pornographic sexual discourse is only part of a power-knowledge formation that includes subtle and often direct coercion over the body. Men acting as sexual partners extract from pornography a ‘knowledge’ of sexuality that they use to organize their personal domination over women, in order to turn women into docile bodies that learn to adopt various positions or gestures. Even though, if discipline is successful, coercion is minimized, economized, to generate the maximum effect of control through the minimum expenditure of force, a force that never disappears completely. When society is saturated with pornographic representations as a normative standard, which in turn operates as an ideal to which people ‘voluntarily’ aspire, it is only because of the operation of this efficient economy of force, which goes mostly unnoticed. Perceived as a natural, innate human characteristic, sexuality is instead a social construct, where all of the body’s movement, gestures, and attitudes are manipulated, and thus obedient to a pornographic ideal of sexual experience that is limited in its heteronormative expression.

▼ This thesis develops a theory of action, drawing chiefly on the work of Hannah Arendt and Michel
Foucault. I begin with a discussion of some popular theories of action. As I argue, these theories tend to suffer from three problems: they do not distinguish action from everyday behaviour, they do not account for the way in which action transforms the identity of the actor, and they tend to neglect the innovative and initiatory character of action. In chapter two, I discuss Arendt's theory of political action, which goes a long way toward redressing these problems. However, the value of Arendt's work is limited by her characterisation of the public sphere as subsumed by a 'social' rather than political form of community. Accordingly, I follow Dana Villa and Bonnie Honig's suggestions that a broader understanding of action is required in order to overcome the weaknesses of Arendt's work. In chapters four and five, I demonstrate that a reading of
Foucault can yield just such a broader understanding. I begin with an analysis of The History of Sexuality and the argument that the transformation of ethical subjectivity can function as a means of resistance to the normalising effects of power, before moving on to discuss the essay 'What Is Enlightenment?' I argue that these works are part of a 'transformative project,' in which
Foucault aims to facilitate the transformation of subjectivity as a means of resistance to social normalisation. This transformative project can be adapted into a theory of action that locates action within contemporary society but shares some of the best aspects of Arendt's theory. Finally, drawing on the work of
Foucault and Adriana Cavarero, these theoretical reflections are applied to a discussion of action in the context of small communities. Small-community models of action are an important consideration because they allow us to avoid the traditional dichotomy between action as a task for the individual who transgresses social norms and action as a project of social reform.

(more)
▼ Much to the surprise of his supporters and critics,
Foucault aligns himself with the Kantian philosophical tradition and identifies himself as a type of 'Kantian' in some of his later writings. Given his trenchant criticism of Kant early in his philosophical career,
Foucault's later association with Kant appears contradictory and inconsistent. Despite the small proportion they comprise of the entire Foucauldian corpus,
Foucault's so-called 'Enlightenment' writings give us a sense that he modifies his view of Kant, enabling us to discern a discordant reception of Kant by
Foucault. This discordant reception or ambiguity (i.e., early criticism of Kant and later sympathy with him) allows us to discern a shift in
Foucault's philosophy. Hence, this thesis mainly argues that
Foucault's reconceptualisation of Kantian critique constitutes a shift in his philosophical itinerary.Answering the question how Kant conceptualises criticism, the first chapter, 'Kant's Transcendental Criticism,' explains Kant's conception of 'critique'. Devoted to Kant, this chapter gives an idea of the Kantian criticism of which
Foucault is very critical. The second chapter, '
Foucault's Criticism of Kantian Transcendental Philosophy,' focuses on some of
Foucault's early works and discusses why
Foucault is critical of Kant. Dealing with
Foucault's 'enlightenment' writings, the third chapter, 'The Return to Kant:
Foucault's 'Enlightenment' Writings,' answers the question why
Foucault's transformation of the Kantian critique amounts to a Foucauldian shift and explains how
Foucault reconceptualises and modifies the Kantian critique. The fourth chapter considers some results and implications of
Foucault's return to Kant.One result is the lively debate between the so-called coherence and non-coherence theorists. Despite giving it a different account,
Foucault's resumption of the Kantian critical enterprise serves as the cause or condition that makes possible the seemingly irreconcilable poles between
Foucault's supporters and critics. We subscribe to the position of the coherence theorists, finding no contradiction but coherence in
Foucault's philosophy. To support our argument and explore the implications of this conclusion, we look at the two aspects of
Foucault's 'practical criticism' and his oxymoronic notion of 'historical a priori' or the idea that history is a conditioned condition. The thesis then concludes that
Foucault's reconceptualisation of Kantian critique is a shift in his philosophy.

▼ This research has drawn on poststructuralist thinking to posit that assertions of supervision being a benign and necessary process or activity rely on modernist assumptions. Utilising Foucault’s work on discourses and power, this study conceptualised supervision as a social construction that has implications for practice and subjectivity, and that this process, within the context of counselling psychology, with its particular epistemological underpinnings, is worthy of further exploration. This study makes an original contribution through extending the work by Crocket (2004, 2007), who has investigated supervision’s shaping effects on professional identity, to apply it to the particular epistemological and theoretical context of counselling psychology, a profession said to value postmodern ideas such as pluralism and ambiguity (Rizq, 2006). Semi-structured interviews with six women counselling psychology trainees were analysed using Foucauldian discourse analysis, a social constructionist methodology, and found a number of discourses implicated in trainees’ subjectivity and practice. Whilst expert, developmental and gender discourses were found to be implicated in constructions of supervision as hierarchical, which was seen as a key aspect of constructions of power in supervision, other discourses were identified that offered positions from which to resist this. The researcher acknowledges that the discursive resources identified are based on this particular sample, could have been read in other ways and does not assume they can be applied to all trainee counselling psychologists. Rather, it is hoped this study may contribute to debate around supervision and it’s shaping effects and consequently be useful in enhancing counselling psychology’s reflexivity in research and practice.

▼ This thesis examines three major personalized planning
programs directed at Australian single parents receiving income
support. Personalized planning programs are to contemporary welfare
systems in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia
what subsidized training and public employment programs were to the
post-war welfare state. They came into being around 25 years ago
and are increasingly the central policy tool governments use to
administer access to income supports and additional services.
Personalized planning programs involve income support recipients
participating in one-on-one meetings with individual advisers in
order to develop plans for their futures. Despite their prevalence
there are no studies directed at systematically examining
personalized planning technologies across time. This thesis
provides a genealogy of personalized planning programs targeted at
single mothers and focuses on three programs that operated in the
period 1989 to 2009. The study has three closely related aims. The
first is to understand the different ways in which the relationship
between Australian single parents/mothers and income support has
been problematized since the emergence of the post-war welfare
state. Second, it seeks to understand why personalized planning
programs are now the dominant solution to the problematic of single
parents on income support. The third aim is to understand the
spaces of freedom and constraint that these personalized planning
programs and associated work requirements opened up and closed
down. This thesis takes theoretical inspiration from Michel
Foucault and Amartya Sen, and methodological inspiration from
Foucault’s genealogical methods and the governmentality literature.
It combines textual analysis with ethnographic methods in order to
simultaneously examine official government rationalities and the
‘witches’ brew’ of actual practices. A key finding is that the
spaces of freedom and constraint these programs produced were not
established in advance within official program rationalities.
Instead, they were actively interpreted, taken up, used and
sometimes resisted by single mothers and those responsible for
delivering the programs. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s and Amartya
Sen’s works, I illustrate that single mothers’ abilities to
undertake activities they valued were dependent upon the assistance
they received from personalized planning programs. At the same time
all three programs, at least in some instances, restricted
individual freedoms and autonomy through normalizing practices that
relied upon clients playing a passive role within the
program.

▼ Since the 1980s, many feminist philosophers have
pointed out the association of masculinity and maleness with reason
and rationality, and femininity and femaleness with unreason and
irrationality. Struck by how these associations influence even
ordinary activities and discourse, I sought a more nuanced
approach. Examining the dichotomous responses to gendered reason, I
argue that resistance to gendered norms of rationality cannot be
accomplished through practical reason alone. Allowing
unconventional forms of resistance to “count” as political, by
reconceptualising resistance on a Foucauldian framework, provides
theorists with many new resources. The laughter norms which we are
disciplined to follow constitute a subject’s gender and her
rationality. We can disrupt these norms in at least three ways: by
laughing when it is unexpected, by changing our comportment during
laughter, and by refusing to laugh when it is expected. Ultimately,
I propose that feminist subjects can politically transform our
selves, and others, through micro-practices of laughing
differently.

▼ Overman (2009) has noted that there is no single
representative experience of retirement in sport; however, it is
clear that retirement from sport is challenging (Sparkes, 1998).
Despite over sixty years of sports retirement research, problems
continue to be reported amongst retiring athletes (Wylleman,
Alfermann, & Lavallee, 2004) and specifically British
footballers (Drawer & Fuller, 2002). Roderick (2006)
suggested that knowledge of football retirement is limited. This
study uses a post-structural understanding of power to discover how
young men negotiate the challenges of enforced retirement. Data was
gathered during in-depth interviews with 25 former players between
the ages of 21-34. Markula and Pringle (2006) illustrated that
adopting Foucault (1991) allows the researcher to consider an
athlete as being produced via his sporting experiences that are
structured within relations of power. Adopting Foucault’s analysis
of discipline, I examined the practices and relationships
experienced within football and considered how, through various
techniques of discipline, a docile footballing body is produced.
The extent to which this docility influences a player’s retirement
experience is also explored. I identified the arts of
distributions, control of activity, the organisation of geneses and
the composition of forces that influence football player
development. Furthermore, how through hierarchical observation,
normalisation, examination, and the panoptic arrangement of working
football, docile football players are produced. Retired players
reported confusion and relief as a result of their initial removal
from the highly disciplined environment of football. Furthermore,
as a result of their exposure to discipline and the ability to
‘normalise’ using confessional practices, over time, retirees
became docile bodies in new alternate realms. Finally, I
problematised how retired players are told to negotiate their
athletic identities once evicted from the localised disciplinary
football environment. This study suggests that the current ‘truth’
of how to develop and produce players in football must be
re-conceptualised. This ‘truth’ is restricting and ultimately
detrimental to the transitional capacity of working football
players. In order to influence player experiences during and after
their careers, ‘marginalised knowledges’ (Foucault, 1987)
surrounding what it means to be a footballer must be
evoked.

▼ Children’s use of contemporary technologies is a much debated topic in the literature. There are various opinions on the positive and negative effects of technology on childhood development. Much of this literature appears to be statistically based, or from adult observation. To help understand more about the socio-cultural context children are living in and how they are internalising this information, this research study asked the question: ‘What are the current discourses used by 10-12 year old children when talking about contemporary technologies such as mobile phones, the internet, console games and computers?’
Ten children aged between 10-12 years were recorded discussing and demonstrating the types of technology they regularly used at home. The children were purposely selected, with two being of Maori descent. The recorded interactions were transcribed verbatim and a Foucauldian discourse analysis was carried out to identify dominant discourses that emerged from the children’s discussions. These dominant discourses were interpreted using the philosopher Michel Foucault’s theories on the history of existence, power relations, the
subject, and ethics of the self. Ethical approval was given for the research by the AUTEC research committee in October 2010.
Three dominant discourses were identified in the analysis. Virtual reality as a new dimension; panoptic play; and technological play as risky. By analyzing these discourses the children in the research appeared to assume
subject positions within their play that have been created by and through their technology use. These
subject positions were created by the unique historical context of the present era and have allowed new relations of power to develop for the children.
The discourses revealed by the children in this research appeared to indicate the emergence of norms of behaviour and relations of power unique to technological play. These norms and power relations also appeared to indicate a new form of ethical substance which may be contributing to the constitution of the children’s moral self.

▼ Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beginnt mit einem Hinweis auf die Vorlesung Die Macht der Psychiatrie, wo Foucault dort anknüpft, wo seine erste große Veröffentlichung, Wahnsinn und Gesellschaft, endet: bei der Entstehung der Psychiatrie und der damit verbundenen Medizini-sierung des Wahnsinns zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts. Diese beiden Arbeiten Foucaults bil-den den Rahmen für diese Diplomarbeit und werden einander gegenübergestellt. Darüber hin-aus wird ausgehend von Wahnsinn und Gesellschaft der Versuch unternommen, die wichtigs-ten Etappen im Schaffen und Denken Foucaults nachzuvollziehen, die zwischen seiner Ge-schichte des Wahnsinns von 1961 und jener Vorlesung von 1973/ 74 liegen. Dies ist erforder-lich, da die Vorlesung Die Macht der Psychiatrie nicht bloß eine Fortsetzung bzw. eine Vor-bereitung für eine Fortsetzung von Wahnsinn und Gesellschaft darstellt, sondern auch das Ergebnis zumindest einer Perspektivenverschiebung in den Untersuchungen Foucaults ist. Gemeint ist die Hinwendung zum Thema „Macht“, das zwar schon in Wahnsinn und Gesell-schaft eine Rolle spielt, aber erst in den siebziger Jahren explizit zum Gegenstand der Analyse wird. Eng verbunden mit dieser Perspektivenverschiebung ist Foucaults Wechsel der Methode seines historischen Philosophierens. Zunächst bezeichnet Foucault in Wahnsinn und Gesell-schaft seine Methode der Geschichtsschreibung eher beiläufig als Archäologie, präzisiert die-sen Begriff aber in den folgenden Werken und lässt ihn, unmittelbar nachdem er der archäo-logischen Methode ein eigenes Buch gewidmet hat, in den Hintergrund treten. Ab den frühen siebziger Jahren wird in methodischer Hinsicht der von Nietzsche übernommene Begriff der Genealogie dominant. Dieser Begriff ist allerdings nicht ohne machttheoretische Überlegun-gen zu haben. Inwiefern Foucault das Thema „Macht“ erst für sich „entdeckt“ und welche Modifikationen er an seinem Verständnis von Macht vornimmt, soll in dieser Diplomarbeit in Bezug zum Thema „Wahnsinn“ dargestellt werden.

▼ Ce travail parie sur la possibilité de reposer les problèmes éducatifs de Rous-seau à la lumière de certains concepts de la philosophie française contempo-raine. Ainsi, en partant des analyses de Foucault, l’on ne peut manquer d’être frappé par la figure du gouverneur dans Émile ou de l’éducation qui apparaît, stricto sensu, comme la condition de l’émergence de la vérité de la nature, de la vérité de ce qui convient aux hommes, de la vérité de ce que doit être leur éducation. Mais en quel sens peut-on dire que, dans l’Émile, l’éducation est une manifestation de la vérité ? Le problème de la vérité et du pouvoir est an-cien. Michel Foucault le qualifie de lieu commun depuis la pensée politique du XVIIe siècle. Dans ses cours au Collège de France publiés en 2012 sous le titre Le gouvernement des vivants, il s’est efforcé « d’élaborer la notion de gouvernement par la vérité » en étudiant notamment la tragédie d’Œdipe qui lui permet de poser le problème de la conjonction entre le pouvoir et le savoir, entre le gouvernement et la vérité que l’on sait. Le problème du gouvernement de l’enfance peut également être éclairé par le concept deleuzien de devenir. Le devenir a quelque chose à nous dire sur l’enfance, sur l’émancipation de l’individu et sur le projet d’une éducation tout au long de sa vie.
This 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.

▼ In the period since Tiananmen the People's Republic of China has deployed new controlling mechanisms in society to better integrate minorities. These mechanisms of control are more subtle and use elements of discipline, panopticism, and bio-power; rather than the spectacle of power associated with sovereigns and gristly punishment. This study uses
Foucault to analyze the transition that seems to be occurring in China, in order to show that it should no longer be viewed singularly as an authoritarian power that uses force to control its population. To do this two groups are analyzed, the Uyghur people of Xinjiang, and the Tibetan people. Within each case this thesis explores the development of disciplinarity in the educational system, panopticism and its deployment in religion, and bio-power in birthing and migratory policies. Upon analysis, it is argued that China must be viewed as an authoritarian state that has adopted subtle methods of control, like those found in Western liberal democratic states. Because of this the international community must adapt their views of China in order to better understand how minorities are integrated into Han culture in more highly developed ways.

▼ This doctoral study draws upon interviews with nine
curriculum-based FE college middle-managers, and three college
strategic plan documents, to critically analyse middle-management
identity. Through the use of an analytical framework based on
Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical ‘method’ the study shows
that when middle-managers talk about their professional practice
they are preoccupied with data-metrics. Consequently, they are
recognised as ‘disciplined subjects’; disciplined by those
data-metrics materially inscribed within the discursive regimes of
their college strategic plan documents. The study additionally
indicates that the more hierarchically senior the middle-manager
the greater the intensity of focus upon data-metrics at the expense
of institutional social relations, whereby their preoccupations
with data-metrics yield de-socialising effects between themselves
and key institutional participants such as teachers, learners and
support staff. The study further suggests that while the
middle-managers within this study were curriculum-based they were
not curriculum-focused; findings which were consistent through the
range of middle-management levels: senior-middle, lower-middle and
middle-middle, and at separate college sites. Considered together
these findings raise a number of important questions for the
crucial role of curriculum-based middle-managers, particularly
where middle-management as a function is recognised as the means by
which policy implementation is secured yet where curriculum-based
work, when understood as necessarily tied to pedagogic practices,
requires a focus around ‘the learner’; a learner not ontologically
foregrounded as data, but in authentically social
terms.

▼ Depuis plusieurs années, une forme de discours s'est développée, faisant des mouvements de rénovation pédagogique les fossoyeurs toute influence éducative et de 68 le moment de la disparition de l'autorité. Sous la pression des injonctions de restaurer l'autorité et face aux incertitudes de notre temps, cette interprétation historique tend à se banaliser dans les esprits. Notre travail vient suspendre ces « évidences » en se proposant de répondre à trois questions. Qu'est-ce qui a été effectivement dit sur l'autorité dans la littérature novatrice et quelles en sont les conditions de possibilité ? Pourquoi l'autorité se pose comme problème à un moment donné ? Et quelle autorité est alors pensée ? Pour mener à bien cette entreprise, nous avons choisi de nous pencher sur une revue militante, Les Cahiers pédagogiques. La référence aux travaux de Michel Foucault nous a permis de construire un paradigme théorique pour archiver le corpus en présence en répondant aux questions posées par l'étude. A partir de l'étude de trois intrigues traversant la période 1957-1989, nous avons reconstitué différents « jeux énonciatifs » qui ont permis de mettre en évidence trois formations discursives sur l'autorité : l'autorité disciplinaire, l'autorité du futur et l'autorité de l'inégalité. L'évolution de ces pratiques discursives est en fait liée à l'émergence d'une hypothèse égalitaire d'émancipation face à une situation de crise, puis liée à l'effacement de cette tentative de bâtir une Société nouvelle. A l'issue de ce travail, nous sommes en mesure d'appréhender différemment les « évidences » de notre actualité et de poser à nouveaux frais la problématique sur l'autorité.
Over the past few years, a new form of discourse has emerged : the fact that the movement of pedagogical renovation has had a bad influence on education, and that the 68 movement has provoked authority to disappear. Under the pressure of injunctions asking for "renoving authority", this historical interpretation tends to become more pregnant in people's mind. This piece of work questions those pieces or "evidence", proposing to answer three major concerns: what does the Innovative literature say about authority, under which conditions those ideas are made possible? Why does the authority emerge as a concern at some point? Which kind of authority is thought? To answer those questions, we chose to focus on a militating journal "Les Cahiers pédagogiques". The reference to Michel Foucault allows us to build a theoretical paradigm to answer those crucial questions. Starting from three case studies from the 1957-89 period, we reconstituted different discursive formations setting three kinds of discourse on authority : discourse on discipline, on authority of the future, and on the authority of inequalities. The evolution of those discursive forms is related to the emergence of an egalitarian hypothesis of emancipation against a crisis, then related to the erasement of this attempt to build a new society. From this piece of work, we are now able to give different points…

▼ Ce travail de thèse propose l’examen d’une éthique du sujet, selon Michel Foucault, comme voie possible permettant de se libérer des relations savoir-pouvoir et de ses effets de subjectivation. Mais la liberté ne peut pas être identifiée à une simple libération d’un pouvoir extérieur, elle est dans sa forme ultime, un choix volontaire, une action de soi sur soi qui a pour projet de forger soi-même sa propre subjectivité, en ayant recours à ses propres techniques. Il s’agit d’un « devenir sujet », c'est-à-dire d’avoir la capacité d’agir, de se produire, de se transformer en sujet d’action politique et sociale. L’objectif est de montrer la valeur et l’importance d’une approche éthique pour l’homme d’aujourd’hui : l’interrogation concerne le sujet et sa capacité d’être l’agent et le maître de son existence.
This 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.

▼ My dissertation explores the significance of âbiopowerâ to forms of life and language in the contemporary West. Generally defined, biopower is a type of regulatory power that directs and fosters the biological life of populations. Focusing on its differential operation, this project investigates how populations are afforded or denied the attentions of biopower. I argue that the question âHow does life have language?â is an important mechanism of exclusion in biopolitical contexts. By deciding what counts as language and, accordingly, which living-beings are speaking-beings, biopower gives voice to and fosters the lives of some while silencing and abandoning the lives of others.
This project develops fresh interpretations of the work of Michel
Foucault, Giorgio Agamben and an under-recognized theorist of biopower, Julia Kristeva. In their varied and resourceful writings on contemporary power, these thinkers challenge the distinction between zoe (the life of biology) and bios (the life of language and politics). To map the languages of biopower, this project brings
Foucault, Agamben and Kristeva into uncommon conversation. In the spirit of Foucaultâs âhistory of the present,â I examine the mechanisms that separate animal voice from human speech and that divide, in Kristevaâs words, ââthose who give lifeâ (women) and âthose who give meaningâ (men).â Ultimately, I argue for a connected transformationâ a biopower beyond the logic of exclusion and a language beyond the logic of sacrificeâthat opens ways of living and speaking otherwise.

▼ In Australia there are a significant proportion of young people existing in debilitating lives, who, for a range of reasons, are no longer attending school. In this thesis I ask, what work is required of schools to reconcile these young people with education following their, often, incapacitating engagements with educational and social disadvantage and exclusion.
This thesis comes from an eighteen month ethnographic study conducted across the four school sites of one Australian organisation, Youth Off The Streets (YOTS). Fieldwork involved the use of two ethnographic techniques: in-depth interviews with 20 young people and 18 staff, and observations of over 100 staff, young people, volunteers, parents and community members. The use of ethnographic techniques has been combined with a document analysis that argues for an understanding of these young people as educationally ‘displaced’.
I have drawn predominantly on the work of Foucault and his understandings of power relations as the vehicle of analysis. In particular his work on states of domination, sovereign power, silence and freedom have been useful in developing an understanding of young people’s lives as embedded in complexity and chaos through a range of debilitating relationships. This has been combined with the work of Goffman, Lyng and Hope to frame these young people as skilled ‘edgeworkers’. I argue that through YOTS’s construction of a number of conditions that involve the production of alternative knowledges, the realisation of relations of care and practices of care, and an innovative use of power relations that create freedom, the staff at the YOTS schools have been able to begin a process of reconciliation between these young people and their education.

▼ We often encounter mental illness in our daily lives. People who are diagnosed with a mental disorder are marked as different and thereby stigmatized and confined to spacial isolation. This thesis analyzes the function of mental illness by examining the protagonist of Irena Vrkljan's Buch über Dora. I argue that in Buch über Dora stigmatization and isolation of otherness becomes visible in how the book's protagonist is excluded from certain spaces. My main question is which role is ascribed to Dora by society. Othering – and therefore excluding – mentally ill persons such as Dora is necessary to establish the order of society. Another important issue are the similarities between Dora and other female characters in the novel.The symptoms of the pressure to succumb to societal norms are shared by the first person narrator, among others. It is my aim to show that and how all woman can easily be pushed into Dora's role. This leads to the central question or my thesis: Are we not all a bit like Dora?
To date, Irena Vrkljan's works have been largely neglected by the germanic academic community. Germanistik has not yet found a way to accommodate her bilingual and bicultural oeuvre. The first part of my thesis addresses this issue. The second part develops a constructivist theoretical framework for my analysis of space. First, I draw on the work of Michel Foucault "Of Other Spaces", "Discipline And Punish", and "Madness And Cilvilization", in which he describes space as a construct that reproduces societal norms. Second, Sigmund Freud's "Fragments of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria" helps to grasp how mental illness is pathologized. While Foucault focuses on the function of norms, Freud analyses the consequences of aberrant behaviour for women. The third part focuses on the fragmentary structure of the novel and continues with an detailed analysis of heterotopias such as the cemetery, Dora's room, the market and the untended park.
By identifying with Dora, Buch über Dora questions the norms and shows her otherness as something that we all share. She may be stigmatized as mentally ill but she is by no means fundamentally different to other women.

▼ Studiens syfte är att studera hur 1649 års skolordning framställer disciplin i textform. Med hjälp av de kategorier som Foucault presenterade i hans verk Övervakning och straff kommer jag att undersöka skolordningen för att identifiera gemensamma drag mellan de två böckerna. Resultatet visar att många av de disciplinära metoder som Foucault uppvisade i sin bok förekom tidigare än förväntat i Sverige. Med hjälp av fördelningen av verksamheten i olika små delar, såsom olika klasser eller rum, förenklades det disciplinära arbetet. På samma sätt fungerade själva byggnaden som en sluten miljö där eleverna kunde avskiljas från varandra och från resten av samhället. Där kunde maktmaskineriet fungera effektivt. Rangordningen bland eleverna skapades genom en kontinuerlig analys och klassificering av individerna. Med hjälp av rangordning gjordes det möjligt att utnyttja kroppens maximala kraft. Verksamheten skulle vara produktiv och ekonomisk stabil. Examinationer fungerade också som ett sätt att klassificera de olika individerna i olika grupper. De som inte uppfyllde skolans krav bestraffades så att de till slut lärde sig det de skulle.

▼ Ett stort fokus som växt fram i dagens mångkulturella samhälle är kulturens betydelse inom organisationer samt hur denna kan användas som ett verktyg för styrning av anställda. Efter att det inom organisationer skett ett skifte från byråkratisk och hierarkisk kontroll till en normativ kontroll är det nu styrning av individers föreställningar och värderingar som står i fokus. Detta är en utgångspunkt för studien vars syfte är att undersöka anställdas upplevelse av kulturen inom en organisation i försäkringsbranschen. Ytterligare önskas belysa vilken påverkan kulturen inom organisationen har på de anställdas värderingar och beteenden. En etnografisk ansats har tillämpats på studien, vilket innebär att individers uppfattningar om hur de tänker och handlar i deras omgivning är centrala. Studien har genomförts på försäkringsbolaget If som är verksamt i nio länder och har en ledande marknadsposition i Norden. För att erhålla material om kulturens styrande aspekter har tio semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomförts med anställda från If. Ur resultatet framkom att de anställda har en bild över hur man ska vara för att passa in i kulturen samt på vilket sätt de reglerar sina värderingar och beteenden för att överstämma med organisationskulturen. Vår slutsats är att kulturen inom If har en styrande funktion av de anställdas ”inre” då den formar riktlinjer för hur de anställda ska vara samt får dem att reglera sitt beteende i önskvärd riktning. Kulturen har ett inflytande på olika nivåer då den styr över vilka värderingar, egenskaper och beteenden som anses vara lämpliga respektive olämpliga. Från detta går det att urskilja en komplex bild av kulturens styrande aspekter.

▼ The purpose of this study was to analyze how the discourse of immigrants and immigration has changed since 1965 and expose what mechanism control the discourse. The time periods that we choose to analyze were: 1965-1975, 1985-1995 and 2010-2016. These three eras were chosen based on the historical premise of Swedish immigration which concerns labor, refugee and family immigration. To shed light on this issue we used a mixed method of content analysis, more particularly, discourse analysis and argumentationsanalysis for the processing of our empirical data. Our empirical collection consisted of articles from the Swedish daily newspaper Dagens nyheter and the tabloid Aftonbladet. For our analysis we selected four different debate articles for each time period, newspaper or tabloid concerning immigrants and immigration. Altogether 24 articles were analyzed. To understand the discourse of immigrants and immigration we used the classic theorists Foucault and Marx in the formation of our theoretical perspective. Based on our empirical data we found that the welfare state were closely connected to the discourse and that the discourse of immigration and immigrants could be understood through a dynamic model. The model shows the balance of power between an establishment and an opposition. The establishment, opposition and welfare are the mechanisms that do not only control the discourse but also causes the discourse to change.
