Abstract: On dit souvent que Foucault a renoncé à toute philosophie de l’histoire ce qu'on peut bien admettre en constatant l'impatience de Foucault de mettre de la distance avec l’histoire universelle qui explique l'histoire en la rapportant à quelque chose qui oblige universellement et qui est en train de se faire valoir à l'époque. Dans ses Vorlesungen über die Philosophie der Geschichte Hegel se réconciliait avec les antithèses de L’histoire du monde en les voyant comme l'expression d'une raison qui se faisait conscience d'elle-même à l'époque et qui cherchait à se manifester aux différents niveaux. Dans sa Zur Genealogie der Moral Nietzsche pensait se trouver en pleine réouverture d'une guerre universelle indissoluble entre "Rome" et "Judée", entre une culture aristocratique qui donnait libre cours à nos épanouissements et une culture de ressentiment qui cherchait à réprimer nos activités plus que de besoin. Dans Die Idee der Naturgeschichte Adorno essayait de faire éclater le continuum historique et ses truismes en montrant comment une nature en elle-même indéfinisable est toujours présent concrètement dans l'histoire et dans la culture sans y être réductible. Au contraire Foucault renonce à ordonner l'histoire en la mettrant à distance dans une retrospection totalisante qui se réfère à une raison synthétisante, à une conflictualité générale ou à une transcendance née de l'histoire mais oubliée URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6400 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: L’événement joue un rôle central peut-être un peu sous-estimé chez Michel Foucault. Dans cet article on essaierait de combler cette lacune, en rendant compte du rôle de l’événement dans la pensée de Foucault pour jeter un jour nouveau sur les traits de l’événement en général et le rôle de l’événement dans le livre The Music of Chance de Paul Auster en particulier.

Abstract: I never became interested in philosophy primordially or originally. There is no source event or transformation that I can recall as being the defining moment. Stating ‘It began here!’ would be misleading… I am not even certain that I originally attained an interest, or even that I still am interested in philosophy as a privileged object of investigation and investment ‐ an aim in itself. There are, however, moments and situations in my life where an interest in philosophy has appeared or is necessarily forced upon me; these are times when philosophy appears as a seemingly unavoidable and essential questioning of fundamentals,– as a ‘basic’ need. This being said, it can be annoying as well as cumbersome. Philosophy as a ‘basic’ need makes itself felt as an estrangement that has always already taken place. It takes the form of a “Schritt zurück” in which one pulls away from, problematizes and reconsiders the given, including the given sense of community, its presuppositions and even the given self. As now, where I find myself writing this at a seaside hotel and consider whether I would prefer to stroll to the restaurant and chat with friends rather than continue taking pains to scrutinize and reflect. Incidentally a well‐known ‘philosophical’ ‘solution’ or resort since Hume. Concurrently, however, I sense that this latter choice may be lacking in philosophical substance. In such situations, philosophy becomes equated with a tendency towards seclusion – even with being secluded from myself. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8810 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Currently, terrorism provokes a widespread feeling of insecurity and global reactions to the terrorist attacks. This is not simply because it poses a substantial threat to society and to the lives of individual citizens. The relatively rare incidents of terrorism cause emotional overreaction because they challenge and intensify the contract that supersaturates today’s society. In the welfare society one can observe the existence of a diffuse but widespread social contract, which has become the single most cohesive element in the social fabric. According the terms of this contract, we agree to care for all and everyone and improve our wellbeing at an individual and collective level. Through its concrete institutions and organizations, the welfare society provides its citizens with a whole range of offers that he or she is unable to refuse. The agreement on perpetual self-improvement and mutual amelioration pervades an organisation and work culture in both the public and private sectors which encompasses our entire existence. The common aim of the furtherance of humanity has enabled us develop in multi-faceted ways. But at the very same time it establishes a logic of mutual self-sacrifice. We agree to cure one another to death. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6321 Files in this item: 1

Foucault’s historical mappings of the networks of social realityRaffnsøe, Sverre; Gudmand-Høyer, Marius; Thaning, Morten S. (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article advances the ‘dispositive’ (le dispositif) as a key conception in Foucault’s work. As developed in his annual lectures in 1978 and 1979, the dispositive represents a crucial constituent of societal analysis on par with the familiar analytics of power/knowledge and the governmentality perspective – indeed it forms a lesser known intermediary between these. Foucault’s dispositional analysis articulates a history of connected social technologies that we have constructed to relate to each other. Expounding these points, the article distinguishes various dispositional prototypes and develops key ‘socio-ontological’ implications of the analy-sis. Reinstating the proper analytical status of the dispositive contributes to the reception of the important notion; the interpretation of Foucault’s entire oeuvre; and a resourceful approach to the study of contemporary societal problems.
