Chains of Silence
Dive into the riveting narrative of "Chains of Silence: Unveiling Foucault's Disciplinary Power" as it navigates through the intricate web of societal control and the invisible forces shaping our everyday lives. Inspired by Michel Foucault's groundbreaking concept of disciplinary power, this book takes you on a journey from historical evolution to modern-day manifestations of this silent form of control embedded in institutions, discourses, and practices. Explore the mechanisms of surveillance, normalization, and examination, and venture into the realms of resistance and counter-conduct that challenge the established choreography of power. Delve into critical reflections and global conversations surrounding Foucault's concept, unveiling its enduring relevance in today's digital and globalized world. Written in a captivating and accessible manner, "Chains of Silence" invites readers from all walks of life to engage with, reflect upon, and challenge the unseen forces that govern our lives, institutions, and societies. It's more than just a book; it's a catalyst for dialogue, awareness, and transformation in our collective dance towards a more equitable and empowered society.
Disciplinary Power, Subjectivity and Liberalism
In his work, Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, Michel Foucault enhances discipline from a simple and straightforward concept to one of the fundamental and constitutional elements of economic and political modernity. While Foucauldian scholars have dedicated a fair amount of research to explore the role of discipline in the advent of economic modernity, the role of discipline in the emergence of modern political forms in general and liberalism, in particular, has remained relatively undertheorized. In this thesis, I attempt to fill this lacuna by providing a Foucauldian account of the relationships between discipline and liberalism. I argue that discipline has contributed to the...
Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault was one of the twentieth century's most influential and provocative thinkers. His work on freedom, subjectivity, and power is now central to thinking across an extraordinarily wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, history, education, psychology, politics, anthropology, sociology, and criminology. "Michel Foucault: Key Concepts" explores Foucault's central ideas, such as disciplinary power, biopower, bodies, spirituality, and practices of the self. Each essay focuses on a specific concept, analyzing its meaning and uses across Foucault's work, highlighting its connection to other concepts, and emphasizing its potential applications. Together, the chapters provide the main co-ordinates to map Foucault's work. But more than a guide to the work, "Michel Foucault: Key Concepts" introduces readers to Foucault's thinking, equipping them with a set of tools that can facilitate and enhance further study.
Discipline and Punish
A brilliant work from the most influential philosopher since Sartre. In this indispensable work, a brilliant thinker suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.
Disciplinary Power and Extraclassroom Public Life
This executive position paper seeks to detail the ways power is exercised in extraclassroom settings at Pequea Valley Intermediate School. The goal of this study is to recommend practices and policies that both empower marginalized students and eliminate practices that characterize chronic delinquency amongst students. Too many students commit repeated acts of misconduct at Pequea Valley Intermediate School and experience negative academic and social outcomes. Student-to-student exercises of power serve to rank, empower, and subordinate students, with some students demonstrating chronic delinquent behavior. Examining the exercise of power on a microlevel will enable administrators and teache...

Disciplinary Power and the UN Security Council Counter Terrorism Committee
The UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) exercises soft rather than hard power to change states' behaviour through monitoring and capacity-building activities. Through the lens of Michel Foucault's disciplinary power, these activities are reconceived as practices of surveillance and correction that aim at the normalization of states according to model dictated by the efficacy of the collective security system. While the processes of normalization rely on the consent and cooperation of states, and therefore are difficult to characterize as repressive, they nevertheless involve complex power relations, which deserve the attention and scrutiny of international lawyers. The CTC has prided itself on its guiding principles of even-handedness, transparency and cooperation, but the disciplinary lens reveals practices of ranking, lack of accountability and a residual willingness to resort to coercion where the self-corrective ideal fails that call into question the effectiveness of these principles in guiding the CTC's work.
Foucault's Discipline
In Foucault’s Discipline, John S. Ransom extracts a distinctive vision of the political world—and oppositional possibilities within it—from the welter of disparate topics and projects Michel Foucault pursued over his lifetime. Uniquely, Ransom presents Foucault as a political theorist in the tradition of Weber and Nietzsche, and specifically examines Foucault’s work in relation to the political tradition of liberalism and the Frankfurt School. By concentrating primarily on Discipline and Punish and the later Foucauldian texts, Ransom provides a fresh interpretation of this controversial philosopher’s perspectives on concepts such as freedom, right, truth, and power. Foucault’s Di...
Foucault and Power
Michel Foucault is one of the most preeminent theorists of power, yet the relationship between his militant activities and his analysis of power remains unclear. The book explores this relationship to explain the development of Foucault's thinking about power. Using newly translated and unpublished materials, it examines what led Foucault to take on the question of power in the early 1970s and subsequently refine his thinking, working through different models (war and government) and modalities (disciplinary, biopolitical and governmental). Looking at Foucault's political trajectory, from his immersion in the prisoner support movement to his engagements with the Iranian revolution and Solidarity in Poland, the book shows the militant underpinning of his interest in the question of power and its various shifts and mutations. This thorough account, which includes the first translation of a report edited by Foucault on prison conditions, will provide students in contemporary political theory with a better understanding of Foucault's thinking about power and of the interplay between political activities and theoretical productions.
