Quels rapports Michel Foucault a-t-il entretenu avec l'espace littéraire ? Cet essai délimite et interroge un moment, pendant les années 1960, où la littérature a représenté un recours, puis un défi, dans l'itinéraire du penseur. Elle apparaît comme un langage radical de la déraison, sous les traits du Sade d'Histoire de la folie ; comme une hérésie à même de renverser la philosophie classique, avec Bataille, Klossowski et Blanchot ; ou comme une citadelle de signes érigée pour concurrencer l...

ca. 200 words; this text will present the book in all promotional forms (e.g. flyers). Please describe the book in straightforward and consumer-friendly terms.[Trump and Trumpism, 21st century warfare, chronic illness, intellectual property: These are just some of the issues examined here. Inspired by the work of Michel Foucault, this book includes articles from scholars employing political genealogy as a methodology and model of theoretical inquiry representing a wide range of disciplines, from the social sciences to the humanities, from philosophy to medicine, to economics, to political and cultural theory. Featuring some of the best and most current work in political genealogy, this work invites us to rethink many of the key concepts in political theory as well as cultural types of expression that we do not routinely think of as political, such as dance, romantic movies, and literature. Broadly conceived, this volume contains essays—excursions, explorations, experimentations—into how political genealogy helps us to understand what Foucault calls “the history of our present,” while at the same time looking to our future, to what being a political subject will look like in the 21st century.

Según postula Foucault la verdad del cuerpo en la modernidad es un privilegio de las ciencias biomédicas, que promueven una relación matematizada y geometrizada sujeta a diversos procedimientos de mensuración. Partimos de esta base para emprender una genealogía que nos permita comprender el alcance de ese proyecto en el campo de la Educación y de la educación corporal. Los trabajos que presentamos parten de esta teorización para explorar diversos territorios que problematizan las vinculaciones del cuerpo y la educación, a partir de los aportes del filósofo francés. La genealogía que emprendió en sus últimos años, y que tiene como eje al problema del sujeto ético, nos abre un fértil horizonte para situar el complejo problema de la relación entre el sujeto y la verdad, o mejor, la tríada: sujeto, verdad y poder. Entendemos que en ese momento de su obra se encuentran los conceptos más promisores para ampliar el horizonte del debate en las ciencias humanas de forma general y en el campo de la educación corporal en particular.

“L’età della storia”, così Foucault, in Les mots et les choses, definisce lo sconvolgimento dell’episteme occidentale avvenuto alla fine del Settecento e nei primi decenni dell’Ottocento che dà l’avvio all’era della modernità. Foucault teorizza il disfacimento del sapere classico e la conseguente mutazione dall’”ordine” alla “storia”: all’ordine del sapere classico, ai valori della tradizione, si è sostituita l’idea di progresso, nonché la visione frammentata di una realtà naturale molteplice, le cui variazioni sono legate allo scorrere del tempo. Il valore normativo della tradizione viene, d’altra parte, contestato, negli ultimi decenni del diciottesimo secolo, da vari sommovimenti politici che sconvolgono l’ordine tradizionale delle nazioni europee: la Rivoluzione americana crea un governo razionale fondato sul diritto naturale; la Rivoluzione francese recide traumaticamente i legami con i valori di una monarchia secolare; i suoi drammatici sviluppi, il Terrore, le guerre europee, il crollo dell’impero napoleonico impongono, nel corso degli anni, la consapevolezza concreta dell’incidere storico. Questa irruzione della dimensione storica nel mondo europeo è stata, nel biennio 2013-2015, al centro dei lavori del seminario “Metamorfosi dei Lumi” che presenta, nel suo ottavo volume, un insieme di articoli centrati sul processo di temporalizzazione che caratterizza il tournant des Lumières, nelle esperienze di vita e in tutti i settori dello scibile.
