MICHEL FOUCAULT - « Le pouvoir est partout »

🎓 In this first episode of Powers, Thérence Carvalho offers an introduction to the thought of Michel Foucault, one of the most influential French philosophers of the 20th century. How does Foucault define power? Why does he assert that "power is everywhere"? And how does modern power extend beyond simply prohibiting or punishing, and also seek to monitor, correct, normalize, and administer life? Through his biography, major works, and key concepts, this episode explores a multifaceted approach to power: discipline, prison, panopticon, micro-powers, the shift from law to norm, biopower, and governmentality. An accessible yet challenging exploration of Foucault's work, launching this series dedicated to the many faces of power. ---------------------------------- 👨🏻‍🏫 Who is Thérence Carvalho?
