Beyond Foucault
In his hugely influential book Discipline and Punish, Foucault used the example of Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon prison as a means of representing the transition from the early modern monarchy to the late modern capitalist state. In the former, power is visibly exerted, for instance by the destruction of the body of the criminal, while in the latter power becomes invisible and focuses on the mind of the subject, in order to identify, marginalize, and 'treat' those who are regarded as incapable of participating in, or unwilling to submit to, the disciplines of production. The Panopticon links the worlds of Bentham and Foucault scholars yet they are often at cross-purposes; with Bentham scholars...

Dominar
Podría parecer que la soberanía de los estados nacionales está disminuyendo y la única forma de entenderlo y desafiarlo sería restablecer la verticalidad del Estado y su autoridad. Pierre Dardot y Christian Laval, en contra de esta ilusión todavía demasiado extendida entre la izquierda, emprenden este largo viaje por la compleja y singular historia del Estado moderno occidental y ponen al descubierto los resortes de una dominación sobre la sociedad que es fundamentalmente una cuestión de fe: los «misterios del Estado», el culto a su continuidad, la sacralidad de la que gustan rodearse sus representantes… Ciertos elementos pueden haber cambiado de forma, pero permanece el principio de su poder. Al rastrear esta genealogía, los autores pretenden demostrar que no podemos responder a los retos de la globalización capitalista y el cambio climático sin cuestionar esta herencia. Para hacer frente a estos desafíos, es imprescindible atacar ese régimen de irresponsabilidad política que exime a los gobernantes de rendir cuentas a los ciudadanos. En otras palabras, abrir el camino a un más allá de la soberanía estatal.

"La déontologie politique", ou, La pensée constitutionnelle de Jeremy Bentham
Inventeur du néologisme « déontologie », le philosophe anglais Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) lui donnait pour but de fixer ce qui doit être sous l'égide du principe de l'utilité, de concilier les intérêts privés et les intérêts publics. Emmanuelle de Champs explore la branche politique de la déontologie benthamienne, l'art du législateur, celui du droit constitutionnel, et la dimension morale de l'utilitarisme, qu'elle juge centrale dans le système philosophique benthamien. Elle montre que la théorie du langage et de la connaissance (dite "théorie des fictions") est une véritable condition de possibilité de la réflexion politique: il s'agit de forger les outils nécessaires ...
