Podcast appearances and mentions of Michel Foucault

Felsefe Seminerleri - Dijital Teknolojiler, Eleştiri ve Toplum“Platon'un Mağarasına Dönüş: Yapay Zeka, Büyük Veri ve Siyasal Sistemlerin Geleceği”Konuşmacı: H. Akın ÜnverModeratör: Emre ŞanSeminer Tarihi: 3 Şubat 2025Bu konuşma, yapay zeka (YZ) ve büyük verinin siyasal sistemler üzerindeki etkilerini, Platon'un Mağara Alegorisi ışığında değerlendirecek ve bu teknolojilerin siyasi sistemleri tamamen ortadan kaldırıp kaldırmayacağı veya köklü bir dönüşüm geçirip geçirmeyeceği sorusuna odaklanacaktır. Platon'un Mağara Alegorisi, insanların gerçekliği yalnızca gölgeler aracılığıyla algıladığı bir dünyayı betimler. Günümüzde YZ ve büyük veri, siyasal gerçeklikleri yeniden tanımlarken, bireylerin siyasi hayata katılımını ve bu katılımın anlamını radikal biçimde değiştirme potansiyeline sahiptir. Bu bağlamda, Thomas Hobbes'un Leviathan kavramı, merkezi otoritenin toplumsal düzeni sağlama rolü ve YZ'nın bu modern Leviathan'ın yeni yüzü olarak nasıl işlev gördüğünü anlamak için ele alınacaktır. YZ, siyasal sistemlerin merkezi kontrolünü pekiştirirken, bu sistemlerin varlığını sürdürebilmesi için gerekli olan toplumsal sözleşmeyi nasıl dönüştürüyor? Yoksa, bu yeni Leviathan, siyasal sistemlerin işlevselliğini aşındırarak onları gereksiz mi kılıyor? Bu sorular, Michel Foucault'nun biyopolitika ve gözetim kavramları çerçevesinde daha da derinleştirilecektir. Foucault, gücün disiplinci mekanizmalarla bireyler üzerinde nasıl işlediğini ve yaşamların yönetildiğini incelerken, YZ ve büyük veri tarafından oluşturulan yeni gözetim rejimlerinin siyasal sistemleri nasıl etkilediğini tartışacağız. Bu teknolojilerin, vatandaşların davranışlarını ve kararlarını denetleme kapasiteleri, siyasal sistemlerin varlığını sorgulamaya açıyor. Bu bağlamda, siyasal sistemler YZ sayesinde daha etkili hale mi geliyor, yoksa bu denetim mekanizmaları onların gerekliliğini ortadan mı kaldırıyor? Son olarak, Hannah Arendt'in kamusal alan ve eylem anlayışı, YZ ve büyük verinin siyasal katılım üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmek için kritik bir çerçeve sunacaktır. Arendt'in, eylemin siyasi yaşamın temeli olduğu vurgusuyla, YZ'nın kamusal alanı ve bireylerin siyasi eylemlerini nasıl dönüştürdüğünü sorgulayacağız. YZ, bireylerin kamusal alandaki etkinliğini zayıflatarak siyasal sistemleri anlamsız hale mi getiriyor, yoksa bu teknolojilerle siyasi katılım yeni bir boyut mu kazanıyor? Bu konuşma, Platon'un Mağara Alegorisi'nden yola çıkarak, Hobbes, Foucault ve Arendt'in felsefi perspektifleriyle siyasal sistemlerin YZ ve büyük veri karşısında nasıl bir evrim geçireceğini sorgulayacak; siyasal sistemlerin gerçekten gereksiz hale gelip gelmediğini veya köklü bir dönüşümle yeniden şekilleneceğini irdeleyecektir.

In this bonus episode breakdown of Moon Knight Vol. IX #17, we explore how Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio turn the Midnight Mission into a weaponized panopticon where surveillance, architecture, and psychological theater become deadlier than fists. After The Structure murders Hunter's Moon, Moon Knight doesn't seek only retaliation; he stages judgment, trapping Grand Mal and Nemean inside a living institution that sees everything and controls the narrative. Drawing on Jeremy Bentham's original prison design and Michel Foucault's theory of disciplinary power, this episode argues that Moon Knight wins not through brute force, but by mastering invisibility itself, proving that in the Marvel Comics universe, the most dangerous weapon isn't violence… It's being watched.   Bonus Episodes of Me & my friend, Pete can be found @patreon.com/hspp

Die kanadische Serie „Heated Rivalry“ ist eine Low-Budget-Produktion, die sich zu einem globalen Phänomen entwickelt hat. Millionen Clips geistern durch die Sozialen Medien, vor allem ein weibliches Publikum ist von der Geschichte der schwulen Eishockey-Spieler Shane und Ilya angezogen. Die bis dato unbekannten Schauspieler Hudson Williams und Connor Storrie sind über Nacht zu Stars geworden. Tatsächlich sind sie es, die der sonst eher dürren Geschichte Intensität verleihen. Ins Auge fallen vor allem die expliziten Szenen, die für eine Mainstream-Produktion eher ungewöhnlich sind. Was aber sagt uns der Erfolg über das Verhältnis von Verbot und Befreiung aus? Geht es hier wirklich um eine Coming-Out Geschichte, die sich für mehr Liberalisierung einsetzt? Wie blicken wir mit Sigmund Freud und Michel Foucault auf die Serie? Mehr dazu von Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Filmanalyse! Literatur:Michel Foucault: Der Wille zum Wissen. Sexualität und Wahrheit 1. Suhrkamp.Michel Foucault: Die Sorge um sich. Sexualität und Wahrheit 3. Suhrkamp.Sigmund Freud: „Über die allgemeinste Erniedrigung des Liebeslebens“, in: Sexualleben, Studienausgabe Bd. 5, Fischer.  Jetzt ist der neue DeepDive erschienen. Es geht um die Berlinale-Debatte, Wim Wenders, Ethan Hawke, Neil Patrick Harris und die Frage, wie (un)politisch Filme und Künstler sein können.

Essa semana a alta gestão francesa para questões de saúde posicionou-se de forma contundente. Mais que declarar que a psicanálise não teria efeitos com evidências no autismo, ela declara que somente terapias comportamentais têm eficácia comprovada. Longe de mim defender cegamente a psicanálise que por vezes flerta com a teoria do apego ( que levou muitas mães ao pânico e a quadros de auto sabotagem) e com as constelações familiares(...), mas resumir a eficácia terapêutica a dados e gráficos sobre mudanças de comportamento... É terrível! O filósofo francês Michel Foucault ficaria horrorizado ao ver seu país dando aval aos projetos de copos dóceis e biopoder.Esse áudio é um pouco mais longo, mas vale pegar caneta e papel para anotar tudoSe só ouço a chapeuzinho vermelho, nunca saberei que a melhor terapia é a que funciona na singularidade de cada indivíduo

durée : 00:57:47 - Avec philosophie - par : Géraldine Muhlmann, Nassim El Kabli - Alimentation, hygiène de vie, fertilité, santé, nombreux sont les domaines où l'Etat moderne intervient pour garantir l'équilibre social. Un "pouvoir sur la vie" qui - s'il est moteur de progrès - peut tout aussi bien reposer sur une mécanique mortifère et génératrice de violences. - réalisation : Nicolas Berger - invités : Judith Revel Professeure de philosophie française contemporaine à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne; Daniel Borrillo Juriste, professeur à l'Université de Paris Ouest Nanterre-La Défense, chercheur associé au CNRS

durée : 00:58:15 - Avec philosophie - par : Géraldine Muhlmann, Nassim El Kabli - En partant de sa répression, et en s'intéressant moins aux pratiques qu'au discours, Michel Foucault retrace la manière dont la sexualité est produite et encadrée. Dans "Histoire de la sexualité", il montre le rôle majeur qu'elle joue dans le contrôle des corps et la normalisation des comportements. - réalisation : Nicolas Berger - invités : Arianna Sforzini Philosophe; Laurie Laufer Psychanalyste, professeure au département d'Études psychanalytiques de l'UFR Institut des Humanités Sciences et Sociétés (IHSS) à l'Université Paris Cité.

In this episode, host Helen Angus, CEO of AMS Healthcare, speaks with Dr. Cynthia Whitehead. Cynthia Whitehead is an education scientist, educator, and family physician. Her research examines the effects of power relations on various structures, systems, processes, and practices in health professions education, paying attention to who and what is advantaged or disadvantaged as a result. She aims to use her research findings to promote health and education practices that are compassionate, equitable, and effective. Working at the intersection of health and higher education, she sees exciting opportunities to harness the transformative potential of education in service of a healthier world.  Cynthia's program of research is anchored in critical historical analyses of health professions education. Knowing our history is vital for understanding our current contexts, avoiding past mistakes, preserving what works well, and appropriately adapting that which needs change. Aware of the need to deliberately collect multiple perspectives and voices in the history of health professions education—and at times dismayed by the absence and loss of documents—Cynthia is engaged in efforts to preserve relevant archival materials. She is also committed to helping to grow the community of scholars interested in studying the history of the field. Theoretically, Cynthia engages with the work of Michel Foucault, as well as post-colonialism, anticolonialism, and decoloniality. Some of her specific content areas of interest are globalized medical education, primary care education, accreditation, outcomes-based education, and education for collaboration.  Underpinning Cynthia's historical research is the knowledge that the creation of Euro-American models of higher education, health professions education, and healthcare institutions globally were intrinsically intertwined with European colonization of Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Australia. She understands that colonization has shaped and continues to perpetuate inequities in health professions education and research practices locally, nationally, and globally. Cynthia's involvement in the Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration (TAAAC) is one key partnership within which she collaboratively interrogates these processes. As a high income country researcher and white settler Canadian, she strives to listen, learn, and collaborate with humility, taking care that her work not inadvertently reproduce colonial academic practices.  Cynthia has provided education consultations and worked with educators, scholars, and learners in many countries, as well as with the World Health Organization. She has held many education leadership positions, and is involved in teaching, curricular design, program evaluation, and education administration locally, nationally, and internationally.  Cynthia is a Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine; Director and Scientist at the Wilson Centre, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto and University Health Network; and an academic family doctor based clinically at Women's College Hospital. She holds the BMO Financial Group Chair in Health Professions Education Research at University Health Network. https://amshealthcare.ca/

You've been propagandised today. Probably in the last hour. And I'm not talking about political ads or conspiracy theories—I'm talking about ideas that feel so obvious, so natural, so true that you'd never think to question them.In this episode, we explore what propaganda actually is, how it works in modern society, and why the most effective propaganda doesn't look like propaganda at all.Here's what surprised me most while researching this episode:The best propaganda isn't loud. It's not flashy. It's quiet, repetitive, and boring. It blends into the background until you forget there were other ways to think. And the language we use every day, from news headlines to social media, is doing more work than you realise.We dive into:Why billionaires buy newspapers (and what that has to do with your morning coffee routine)Why does how we talk about certain things matter more than you thinkHow "both sides" became propaganda itselfA trend you've definitely seen on social media that's actually a masterclass in normalisationThe question that changes everything: not whether you're influenced, but whether you're awareYou'll hear from: Jacques Ellul, Antonio Gramsci, Stuart Hall, Michel Foucault, and Paulo Freire, but don't worry, I make it actually interesting.Fair warning: Once you hear this, you'll start seeing propaganda everywhere. Your social media feed. Your work culture. Maybe even in this very podcast description. There's no going back.Listen, if you've ever wondered:Why certain ideas feel "obviously true"How the media shapes what we think is normalWhat makes something "extreme" vs. "reasonable"Whether you can actually think for yourself (spoiler: it's complicated)See you on the Scenic Route!Send me a DMSupport the show_____________________________________________________________________

Sobre Economia Política da Comunicação e da Cultura (EPCC) da Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa.Autor do podcast: Carolina Fioravante, bolsista PIC do grupo de pesquisa EPCC da FCRB.No episódio de hoje do Economia Política da Comunicação e da Cultura (EPCC), debatemos o capítulo "Arquivo e Arte contemporânea: a virada mnemônica nos 'Postcards from Brazil' de Gilvan Barreto", de autoria de Denise Trindade. A discussão explora como a arte contemporânea utiliza arquivos históricos — especificamente cartões-postais oficiais da Embratur — para desafiar as narrativas hegemônicas da ditadura militar brasileira. Analisamos o conceito de "virada mnemônica" e a forma como os recortes e lacunas nas imagens turísticas revelam a violência estatal oculta, criando uma "geografia da dor" que contrapõe a memória oficial à memória dos crimes e desaparecimentos documentados pela Comissão Nacional da Verdade. O episódio aborda ainda as teorias de Ariella Azoulay, Michel Foucault e Jacques Derrida sobre arquivo e fotografia, refletindo sobre a economia política da memória e o papel da arte como dispositivo de resistência contra o esquecimento institucional.Coordenação do canal: Dra.

Hoy hablaremos de langostas que pasaron de ser comida para la servidumbre a un platillo de lujo; de cómo la cultura africana en México ha estado siempre ahí, pero la historia oficial la dejó casi fuera de la foto; hablaremos también, como es el Día Mundial de la Educación y aquí somos pesimistas, de educadores siniestros, la pedagogía de los golpes y la humillación; y cerraremos con Vigilar y castigar de Michel Foucault, ese libro incómodo que nos recuerda que escuelas, cárceles y oficinas se parecen más de lo que quisiéramos.

Spaces of Anticolonialism: Delhi's Urban Governmentalities (U Georgia Press, 2025) is the first book-length account of anticolonialism in Delhi, as the capital of Britain's empire in India. It pioneers a spatial governmentality analysis of the networks, mobilizations, and hidden spaces of anticolonial parrhesia, or courageous speech and actions, in the two decades before independence in 1947. Reading across imperial and nationalist archives, newspapers, memoirs, oral histories, and interviews, Stephen Legg exposes subaltern geographies and struggles across both the new and old cities, which have traditionally been neglected in favor of the elite spaces of New Delhi. Presenting the dual cities as one interconnected political landscape, Legg studies Indian National Congress efforts to mobilize and marshal support between the mass movements of Civil Disobedience (1930-34) and Quit India (1942-43). The book's six chapters compare the two movements in terms of their public spaces of nonviolent anticolonialism, their problematization by violence, and their legacies. This bottom-up analysis, focused on the streets, bazaars, neighborhoods, homes, and undergrounds of the two cities, foregrounds the significance of physical and political space; it  highlights the pioneering role of women in crafting these spaces; and it exposes the microtechniques that Congress used to encourage Gandhi's nonviolence and to tolerate its testing in the face of the rising popularity of the radical left. Legg's rereading of Michel Foucault's final lectures on parrhesia produces a bold new approach to questions of postcolonialism, resistance, and South Asian governmentalities. This allows anticolonialism to be read not as an outside but as a coherent and bottom-up project of self-transformation and space-making that was elite coordinated but whose sovereignty lay with a disobedient and not always nonviolent public. This book provides an innovative and restive historical geography of spaces of anticolonialism in the capital of contemporary India's 1.4 billion people.

Tyler considers Diarmaid MacCulloch one of those rare historians whose entire body of work rewards reading. This work includes his award-winning Cranmer biography, his sweeping histories of Christianity and the Reformation, and his latest on sex and the church, which demonstrates what MacCulloch calls the historian's true vocation: unsettling settled facts to keep humanity sane. Tyler and Diarmaid explore whether monotheism correlates with monogamy, Christianity's early instinct towards egalitarianism, what the Eucharistic revolution reveals about the cathedral building boom, the role of Mary in Christianity and Islam, where Michel Foucault went wrong on sexuality, the significance of the clerical family replacing the celibate monk, why Elizabeth I—not Henry VIII—mattered most for the English Reformation, why English Renaissance music began so brilliantly but then needed to start importing Germans, whether Christianity needs hell to survive, what MacCulloch plans to do next, and more.

De mens is een bekentenisdier, stelde Michel Foucault. Ooit deelden we onze diepste gedachten en gevoelens al biechtend met de priester. Tegenwoordig met de therapeut. Hoe werken de idealen van praten, delen en volledige transparantie door in onze cultuur? Kunnen we nog leven met geheimen? Aan de hand van fragmenten van De laatste sessie gaan we in gesprek met Saskia de Coster en Damiaan Denys.In De laatste sessie deelt Kristien voor het eerst haar verhaal van de affaire die ze jarenlang onderhield met haar buurvrouw. Een verhaal over dubbele levens, vormen van liefde, obsessie, manipulatie en controle. Saskia de Coster en Damiaan Denys gaan vanavond in gesprek over of we lijden verleerd zijn, wanneer het beter is om te zwijgen en de vraag of de psycholoog vervanger is van de priester, de ontvanger van de biecht.Over de sprekersSaskia de Coster (1976) is auteur van een eigenzinnig oeuvre. Haar werk werd in meer dan tien talen vertaald. Haar boek Nachtouders (2019) stond op shortlist van de Libris Literatuur Prijs 2020. In 2023 verscheen Net echt een familieroman over een ogenschijnlijk perfect gezin dat uiteenvalt. Haar meest recente boek De laatste sessie verscheen in oktober 2025.Damiaan Denys (1965) is psychiater, filosoof en hoogleraar psychiatrie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en het AmsterdamUMC.

Bristen på existentiell symmetri, den västerländska civilisationens akilleshäl Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.”Hur ska jag rädda mitt liv? frågade poeten. Genom att vara en dåre, svarade Gud.” – Länge stod detta fylleklotter att läsa med stora svarta bokstäver på en brandvägg i staden där jag växte upp. Länge tänkte jag också att det måste bära på någon form av högre sanning. Det tror jag inte längre. Det vill säga, idén är förstås lockande att i en galen värld måste dåren vara den ende som är klok. Men för det första: Gud står av allt att döma på ordningens sida, och skulle aldrig ge ett sådant svar. För det andra: OM Han ändå gjorde det, borde man just därför akta sig väldigt noga för att följa det. Och för det tredje: det är väl knappast sitt liv poeten tänker sig vilja rädda, utan sin konst. Det är faktiskt inte samma sak. Men det hindrar onekligen inte att världen fortfarande är galen.Problemet är att dåren fortfarande heller inte är klok. På senmedeltidens målningar ser vi dårarna gå ombord på narrskeppet till ”Narragonien”, landet där galenskapen regerar. Man får tänka sig att sådana resor utövade en viss hemlig dragningskraft på folk; i stora delar av den kristna världen var det vid den här tiden en utbredd tradition att inför perioder av allmän återhållsamhet och botgöring tillåta korta utbrott av lössläppthet och otyglat vansinne. Under karnevalsfesterna, precis före fasteveckorna, ställdes samhällets strikta hierarkier på huvudet för en dag. Narren blev kung, korgossarna bytte plats med kyrkans högsta dignitärer. Både Bosch och Brueghel skildrar i stora, myllrande målningar vad som kallas ”striden mellan karneval och fasta”, ett slags allegoriska visioner av den kamp som försiggår i varje samhälle och inom varje själ, mellan kaos och ordning, frihet och försakelse. Hela det medeltida kyrkoåret var i själva verket perforerat av dessa otuktiga festligheter där världen och dess ordning vändes upp och ner.Men alltså enbart för en dag. Morgonen efter återställdes den gudomliga ordningen, med alla dess påbud och förbud. Bara tanken att den på allvar skulle kunna rubbas utgjorde galenskapens själva definition. Festligheterna fyllde med andra ord en funktion som ventiler för oro och missnöje i det obevekliga sociala maskineriet; ett folk som just fått släppa sig löst i frosseri och leka kungar är i sitt bakrus inte så benäget att göra uppror. Samtidigt går det inte att komma ifrån att leken i det långa loppet sådde frön av allvar, att missnöjesventilerna också blev till fönster mot en annan, bättre värld. Narren som lät fursten höra sanningen behövde visserligen inte riskera huvudet: han var bara en dåre. Men den förbjudna, tysta misstanken att denna sanning var den verkliga, att dåren faktiskt hade rätt, lär ha varit långt mer utbredd än vad historien kan dokumentera.Medeltidens dåre stod på så vis både utanför samhället och mitt i det. Som hemlig uppviglare – men för den dygdige borgaren också som ett ansikte att lätt förfärat spegla sig i, en figur vars bild kunde hållas upp som varning för att överskrida de sociala konventionerna, vända sig bort från Gud och samhälle. Michel Foucault ser i Vansinnets historia just denna senmedeltid som den period i Europa när galenskapen för sista gången intog en naturlig plats i det offentliga rummet – det vill säga innan den avskildes från det omgivande samhället, institutionaliserades och låstes in. I den moderna, rationella kultur som växte fram med renässansen och reformationen fanns inte längre någon plats för den sortens avvikelser. Ingen förståelse för hur det mörka kunde vara en förutsättning för det ljusa, hur det förvrängda och kaotiska balanserade och speglade normalitetens ordning.Jag tänker mig att denna brist på vad vi skulle kunna kalla existentiell symmetri fortfarande är något av den västerländska civilisationens akilleshäl. Rädslan för att förlora förståndet, och dess tvillingskräck, rädslan för döden var säkerligen inte mindre bland människorna i den brutala senmedeltidens värld. Men de tvingades möta dem dagligen. Den moderna människan håller istället både vansinnet och döden på armlängds avstånd; det är bekvämt och praktiskt, men när vi sedan behöver konfrontera dem – och det gör vi, förr eller senare – kastas vi ut i okänd terräng. Det kan vara plågsamt, men också på något märkligt sätt befriande. Under min mors demens, månaderna innan hon dog, fick jag nästan varje gång jag kom och hälsade på uppleva hur hon misstog mig för någon annan, olika personer från ena gången till den andra, ofta till och med från stund till stund. Jag kunde vara min far, min morbror, kanske en granne eller någon sedan länge död bekant. Det var otäckt i början, men efter en tid vande jag mig. Slutade med mina rättelser och förklaringar, insåg att det nog bara var jag som behövde dem. Om jag nu ens gjorde det? Det fanns till slut något vilsamt i den där förvirringen. Att få låta allting bara vara.Men det var också som om här fanns en hemlig dörr jag inte sett förut. I den moderna kulturen hanterar vi tillvarons mörka sidor enligt ett ideal vi ärvt från antikens stoiker: genom att förhålla oss oberörda. ”Hur barnslig och outvecklad är inte den som förundrar sig över något som sker här i världen!” skriver Marcus Aurelius i sina Självbetraktelser. Kanske det – men borde vi då inte hellre låta oss förbli barnsliga och outvecklade? Senmedeltidens lösa dårar och förryckta var en sorts gränsgestalter: enligt en utbredd folklig föreställning föddes de inte som andra ur en kvinnas livmoder, utan kläcktes ur ägg, fullt färdiga och fulländade i sin dårskap. Dårarna satt på nycklarna till en alternativ verklighet, där allting kunde vara precis tvärtom. Vem vet förresten: det kanske inte bara kunde. Utan faktiskt var det. För medeltidens människor, till vardags fjättrade av både andliga och furstliga övermakter, var det en ovärderlig, outsäglig möjlighet.I vår värld finns som sagt inte längre plats för den sortens figurer. Precis som vi låst in och medicinerat dårarna har vi låst in – och medicinerat bort – alla föreställningar om en ”förryckt”, vill säga annorlunda värld. Vi utgår från att samhällsförändringar måste ske i vad vi antar vara förnuftiga former: inom ramarna för den parlamentariska demokratin, inom ramarna för marknadsekonomin och den regelbaserade världsordningen. Men om all förändring måste ske inom ramarna för den rådande ordningen, hur kan då själva ordningen någonsin förändras? Om det nu – som vi alltmer börjar misstänka – är denna ordning som är galen? Vem har vi nu, som manar fram den andra, osynliga världen?Jo, förstås: vi har våra poeter. Våra konstnärer – kläckta ur dårskapens ägg, skilda från verklighetens folk av institutionernas murar. Tipset som poeten fick av Gud var kanske inte så dumt, trots allt. Ordningen måste bestå. Men det finns en utväg.Dan Jönssonförfattare och essäist

Dans French Theory, l'historien des idées, François Cusset nous raconte l'histoire du courant philosophique de la French Theory, plus connu aux États-Unis qu'en France !  La French Theory désigne un ensemble de courants intellectuels français apparus surtout entre les années 1960 et 1980. Elle regroupe des penseurs comme Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Roland Barthes ou Jean Baudrillard. Ces auteurs ont remis en cause les notions traditionnelles de sujet, de vérité, de pouvoir et de sens. Leurs travaux croisent la philosophie, la linguistique, la psychanalyse, la sociologie et la critique littéraire. Un point central est l'idée que le langage et les discours structurent notre manière de penser le monde. Elle insiste sur les rapports de pouvoir cachés dans les savoirs et les institutions. Paradoxalement, elle a eu plus de succès aux États-Unis qu'en France. Elle a fortement influencé les études culturelles, le féminisme et les théories postcoloniales. Aujourd'hui encore, elle nourrit les débats sur l'identité, le pouvoir et la production du sens et est devenue l'une des bêtes noires du président Donald Trump mais aussi l'une des armes de résistance...  Invité : François Cusset, historien des idées, professeur à l'Université de Paris-Ouest Nanterre, spécialiste de la civilisation américaine.

In The Care of the Self and the Care of the Other: From Spiritual Exercises to Political Transformation (Columbia UP, 2025), Daniel Wyche examines the political implications of what he calls practices of ethical self-change. These include Pierre Hadot's notion of “spiritual exercises”; what the French sociologist of labor Georges Friedmann terms “interior effort”; Michel Foucault's ethics of the “care of the self”; Martin Luther King Jr.'s understanding of “self-purification” as integral to direct action; and Audre Lorde's claim that caring for herself constitutes a form of “political warfare.” Each reading furnishes Wyche with a lexicon of concepts and practices that he develops with great care toward a critical account of the self in relation to others.Daniel Louis Wyche is a Senior Scholar with the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought.Nathan H.

"A pesar de lo que digan las gentes de mí, no soy tan necia como hasta los más insensatos me creen, ya que nadie como yo, es capaz de distraer, a los hombres y a los dioses". Así se inicia "Elogio de la locura", obra escrita en 1509 por ERASMO DE ROTTERDAN, y uno de los mejores ensayos que se conocen en defensa de la locura, entendida como elemento indispensable que hace posible la vida y la sociedad, todo ello puesto en boca de la locura en persona que, en una defensa de su propio poder y utilidad, se alaba a sí misma. Y es que "la cordura es a la locura, lo que la razón es a la pasión", y hay mucha más pasión que razón en el mundo, nos apunta Francesc Lluis Cardona. Además "a mí siempre me ha causado gran placer decir a tontas y a locas, lo que se me viene a la boca" - dice la locura- , y "no hay pues en mí, lugar para el engaño, ya que mi boca no dice otra cosa, que lo que siente mi corazón". Después de leer esto, no queda más remedio que cuestionarnos al menos, si "la locura en persona", no lleva toda la razón. Porque, si retornamos a nuestro mundo y a nuestra época actual ¿es que acaso existen unos parámetros establecidos que miden el grado de lucidez que tienen las personas? ¿Qué normas deberían seguir los hombres cuerdos? ¿Las normas de la moral? ¿De qué sociedad y época? ¿Quién se erige con el privilegio de calificar a otro como... loco?¿ No es cierto que una misma persona, a lo largo de la historia, ha sido tachada como desequilibrada en su tiempo, y brillante siglos después? ¿Quién se atreve pues, a definir la locura?... En este sentido, otro gran pensador, MICHEL FOUCAULT, también nos regaló en 1961, su tesis en forma del libro "Historia de la locura en la época clásica" donde pone en evidencia, como la concepción de la locura, cambia según la época y la sociedad que se trate. Si bien por una parte, en la Edad Media la Iglesia integraba al loco en la vida y la normalidad de la calle a través de rituales y exorcismos, y después en el Renacimiento, tanto las fiestas populares y carnavalescas, como las expresiones artísticas de la época, recogen que el loco también tuvo su lugar y su función, sin embargo, en el siglo XVII, todo cambia cuando la ciencia a través de la medicina moderna y la psiquiatría, con la excusa de la objetividad científica, inventa las categorias de lo normal y lo anormal. Entonces, al loco se le encierra en manicomios para poder "observarle" y "tratarle" desde la distancia. Convierten la locura en una enfermedad y aplican formas de control, pero en el fondo, lo que subyace es un temor de raíces sociales y morales: todo lo que no se adapte o no sea útil, debe ser aislado. Igualmente en la primera parte del programa, se narra cómo AGUSTÍN GARCÍA CALVO, defiende la aparente "sinrazón" de Don Quijote: él no ve las cosas como nosotros las vemos, porque nuestro miedo nos impide verlas como realmente son. "Pero contra esa herencia de los que vemos las cosas dormidos, se levanta la continua vigilia del caballero de los ojos abiertos: "mi dormir, siempre velar". Y pasamos a la segunda parte del programa: "Yo sé quién soy, y quién podría ser, de desearlo". Ésta es la frase clave que Don Quijote pronuncia y que con una lucidez asombrosa, nos desvela, SEBASTIÁN GÁMEZ MILLÁN, escritor, profesor, y vocal por Málaga de la Asociación Andaluza de Filosofía. ¿Un verdadero loco va y viene a su antojo y retorna a la realidad conforme a su voluntad?... Cree nuestro profesor que Don Quijote encarna a la perfección aquello que Erasmo de Rotterdan denominó "cuerdas locuras": que cierta locura es imprescindible para la felicidad, y que la razón sin pasión, está incompleta. Además lo Quijotesco consiste en ejercitarse. La locura de Don Quijote consiste en soñar sabiendo que se sueña. El auténtico vértigo es la ausencia de locura. ¿Locuras actuales?... De todo esto y de mucho más, nuestro profesor hoy nos hablará. Especial papel juega en el espacio de hoy el arte, en concreto, las impresionantes pinturas del QUIJOTE, cuyas imágenes aparecen en la portada de este programa. Agradecemos enormemente a sus autores, JOSE ALONSO LOAIZA y SHUOJING LIN, su gesto para con nosotros. Igualmente agradecemos de forma muy especial a FELICIANO MOYA ALCAIDE, uno de los pintores más destacados y premiados de Castilla la Mancha, su colaboración y dedicación. Igualmente queremos dar las gracias al popular actor y productor ANIBAL LAGUNA, por regalarnos su prodigiosa voz a través de la lectura del poema de León Felipe "VENCIDOS", porque a todos nos ha conmovido. Por último, no tenemos ya palabras de agradecimiento para CRISTINA GÓMEZ LIMÓN ORTÍZ, profesora de música y canto, no solo por su extraordinario talento sino por su actitud generosa y desinteresada. Ella va a interpretar una versión lírica al piano, del mismo poema que Anibal ha leido, VENCIDOS, y que en su momento hizo popular Joan Manuel Serrat.

认知的三层境界：从福柯的话里，找到做事的清醒之道“人们知道自己做什么；他们通常也知道自己为什么这样做；但他们不知道的，是自己所做之事所带来的影响”深刻揭示了人类行为与认知之间的断裂。”这句话出自于法国哲学家米歇尔·福柯（Michel Foucault，1926-1984），他是20世纪最具影响力的思想家之一，以其对权力、知识和社会制度的批判性分析而闻名。我们每天的行为皆有背后的动机，自己做了什么、为何而做，多数人心里都十分清楚。但大多数人对自身行为的认知，往往就止步于这两个层面。而福柯恰恰提出了第三个至关重要的认知维度：我们需要思考，自己的所作所为究竟会产生怎样的影响？对很多人而言，能厘清前两个层面已属不易，极少有人会主动推进到第三个层面。这是因为一旦触及“行为影响”的思考，不少人便会陷入思维停滞。但事实上，这一问题极具分量——它关乎生命的价值、存在的意义与人生的方向，更是人类区别于其他物种的核心特性之一。举个简单的例子：很多同学都认为，要提升英语口语和听力，就必须背单词。这个认知本身并无问题，但对于不习惯开口、从未完整流利表达过的同学来说，单纯记忆单词含义，未必能真正提升口语水平。反而常见一种情况：背了大量单词，却无法顺畅输出，说英文时只能断断续续地蹦单词——这显然与背单词的初衷相悖。但极少有同学会主动思考：背单词真的能让口语变好吗？背单词对我的口语面貌究竟会产生何种影响？大多数同学都抱着“背单词是好事，只要坚持背，口语就会提升”的想法盲目行动。这也正是今天我要分享这句话的核心原因。由此便引出一个新问题：我们该如何评估一件事的效果与影响？答案其实很简单：通过反复行动，持续观察行动后的结果——这正是我们常说的“实践是检验真理的唯一标准”。仍以背单词为例：背完一个单词后，我能否将它灵活运用到10个以上的场景中？能否在不同语境下精准听出它的原生含义？如果既听不懂也用不出，就说明当前背单词的方式或方法存在问题。此时及时调整，寻找更具针对性的方法，才能让背单词的效率大幅提升，最终推动口语面貌实现质的飞跃。New Wordsfrequently [ˈfriːkwəntli] adv. 经常地；频繁地She frequently visits the library to borrow books.她经常去图书馆借书。aware [əˈweər] adj. 意识到的；知道的Are you aware of the consequences of your actions?你意识到自己行为的后果了吗？consequence [ˈkɒnsɪkwəns] n. 结果；后果；重要性The economic crisis was a direct consequence of the policy.这场经济危机是该政策的直接后果。Quote to learn for todayPeople know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do;but what they don't know is what what they do does.——Michel Foucault翻译人们知道自己做什么；他们通常也知道自己为什么这样做；但他们不知道的，是自己所做之事所带来的影响。——米歇尔·福柯更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

Is Homosexuality Normal? In this episode of Bible and Theology Matters, host Paul Weaver sits down with Dr. Rosaria Butterfield to discuss the first lie addressed in her book Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age: “Homosexuality is Normal.” Drawing from her background as a former tenured professor of English and Women's Studies, a scholar of critical theory and queer theory, and a former LGBTQ activist, Dr. Butterfield explains why the concept of homosexual orientation as an immutable identity is a modern invention, not a timeless reality. She traces its roots to 19th-century thought, engaging figures such as Freud, Marx, Darwin, and Michel Foucault, and contrasts these ideas with a biblical anthropology grounded in Scripture. Dr. Butterfield shares her powerful testimony of conversion to Christ, explains how the shift from behavior to identity has reshaped cultural and ecclesiastical thinking, and warns Christians against adopting the moral language and ideological categories of the secular left—including terms like sexual orientation, cisgender, pronouns, and sexual minority—which ultimately undermine the gospel.This conversation also addresses:• Why homosexuality as an ontological category contradict biblical teaching• How language functions as ideology, not neutrality • The dangers of parachurch compromise and theological drift • Why repentance—not rebranding—is essential for faithfulness• How the church can love prodigals without surrendering biblical truth• Why real hope requires change through Christ, not affirmation without transformationThis episode is a must-watch for Christians seeking clarity, courage, and compassion in a confused cultural moment.

Michel Foucault, um dos pensadores mais influentes do século XX, desconstruiu conceitos fundamentais como verdade, poder e sujeito, oferecendo uma visão profundamente cética sobre as instituições e suas estruturas de autoridade. Suas ideias, amplamente difundidas nas universidades e na cultura contemporânea, têm moldado a forma como muitos jovens adventistas enxergam a igreja, suas doutrinas e sua liderança. Foucault não surge isolado. Ele faz parte de um movimento intelectual mais amplo, que inclui Friedrich Nietzsche, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze e a Escola de Frankfurt. Esses pensadores, cada um a seu modo, questionaram as bases da modernidade, desconstruíram as grandes narrativas e lançaram dúvidas sobre a possibilidade de verdades universais.

It's time for something new! In episode 152 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a deep dive into Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality, Volume 1. From the repressive hypothesis to the role of confession in producing the truth of sex, your hosts get into all of the juicy content of this seminal book. They also talk about the difference between “ars erotica” and “scientia sexualis,” two key concepts in Foucault's treatment of sexuality.Why does Foucault reject the view that sexuality has been repressed? What is the function of power in sexuality? How does the desire for truth about oneself produce various discourses of sexuality? And, when all is said and done, are Foucault's reflections on power in this work too homogenous? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss the pedagogization of children's sexuality and Foucault's problematic treatment of a historical case involving the sexual abuse of a minor.Works Discussed:Michel Foucault, The History of Sexuality Volume 1Enjoy our work?

What defines Iranian identity, both within Iran and across its global diaspora? In this thought-provoking conversation with historian Keanu Heydari, we peel back layers of complexity surrounding one of the world's most politically fragmented diasporic communities.Heydari, a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan specializing in Iranian student activism in post-war France, offers a refreshingly nuanced perspective that avoids both regime apologetics and demonization. The Iranian diaspora, he explains, represents a fascinating anomaly – unlike other immigrant communities that typically organize around cultural markers, Iranians abroad primarily define themselves through political discourse coalitions. From hardline supporters of the Islamic Republic to advocates of monarchy restoration, these political positions often prevent meaningful dialogue between community members.We trace the historical trajectory of modern Iran through pivotal moments like the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup against Mohammad Mossadegh and the 1979 Islamic Revolution, exploring how these events triggered waves of migration and shaped distinct political consciousnesses. Particularly fascinating is Heydari's analysis of how Iranian nationalism occupies a liminal space between European nationalism and anti-colonial struggles, making it simultaneously attractive and repellent to Western leftists.The conversation ventures into provocative territory when discussing Michel Foucault's misunderstood writings on the Iranian Revolution. Rather than dismissing Foucault as naively romanticizing a repressive regime, Heydari connects Foucault's interest in "Islamic political spirituality" to his broader intellectual project concerning self-transformation and political practice.Whether you're interested in diaspora politics, Middle Eastern history, or the complex interplay between religion and leftist thought, this conversation challenges simplistic narratives and offers fresh perspectives on Iran's place in global politics.

Catherine Liu, Professor of Film and Media Studies at UC Irvine, discusses her forthcoming book, Traumatized: The New Politics of Suffering (Verso, 2026), wherein she elucidates the emergence of trauma culture, tracing it back to psychoanalysis and the reification of mental health in post-war America. Analysing the fetishisation and recognition of feelings, Liu historicises the explosion of psychoanalysis in the United States in the 1950s and the rise of New Left in the 1960s, which advanced “the personal is political,” an idea quickly adopted by second-wave feminists. Observing how the discourse of trauma has permeated all areas of society, such that feelings have been prioritised over knowledge and “centering feelings” has replaced scientific inquiry, Liu critiques how the professional managerial class thrives on rebranding, promoting credentials, and creating new identities, all in order to advance the collapse of the separation between work and leisure. Noting how workers have fought for years to maintain a separation of work from leisure time, Liu muses on the invasive, destructive force of the Silicon Valley New Left and professional middle-class feminists who have driven the insistence of a non-differentiated space where “we are always at work”, therefore our private lives are expected to be “on display through our performance virtue.” She examines the dynamics of how anti-normativity and transgression function within the writings of Michel Foucault, since they invariably strengthen normativity. Nonetheless, Liu vituperates the bastardisation of these valences under the scope of identity politics, which forces the merging of one's personal life, politics, and intellectual practices.

Focusing on India between the early nineteenth century and the First World War, Colonial Terror explores the centrality of the torture of Indian bodies to the law-preserving violence of colonial rule and some of the ways in which extraordinary violence was embedded in the ordinary operation of colonial states. Although enacted largely by Indians on Indian bodies, particularly by subaltern members of the police, the book argues that torture was facilitated, systematized, and ultimately sanctioned by first the East India Company and then the Raj because it benefitted the colonial regime, since rendering the police a source of terror played a key role in the construction and maitenance of state sovereignty.Drawing upon the work of both Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault, Colonial Terror contends, furthermore, that it is only possible to understand the terrorizing nature of the colonial police in India by viewing colonial India as a 'regime of exception' in which two different forms of exceptionality were in operation - one wrought through the exclusion of particular groups or segments of the Indian population from the law and the other by petty sovereigns in their enactment of illegal violence in the operation of the law. It was in such fertile ground, in which colonial subjects were both included within the domain of colonial law while also being abandoned by it, that torture was able to flourish.

In The Life, Old Age, and Death of a Working-Class Woman (Allen Lane), sociologist Didier Eribon continues the historical, political and personal reflection he began with his classic memoir Returning to Reims, this time turning his attention to the end of life. Tracing his mother's rapid physical and cognitive decline, and drawing on works by Simone de Beauvoir, Norbert Elias, Annie Ernaux and Michel Foucault among others, Eribon transmutes his rage, sadness and the shame over her death into a nuanced portrait of the woman who raised him. How does our society treat the elderly, Eribon asks? Can the completely dependent speak for themselves – and if not, who can speak for them? Eribon was in conversation about his work with the essayist and novelist Mendez.

Welcome, my ghoulish fiends!Why do vampires seduce us even as they terrify us? In the second episode of Dark Thirst, I explore the erotic power of the vampire's bite, where intimacy meets violence, and desire crosses forbidden boundaries. We dive into repressed sexualities, dangerous loves and the Victorian obsession with "beautiful death," uncovering how fear and lust became inseparable in Gothic literature. From the shocking passion of Carmilla to Mina Harker's disturbing "baptism of blood" in Dracula, we reveal why the vampire still haunts our most forbidden fantasies.

Queer Correctives: Discursive Neo-homophobia, Sexuality and Christianity in Singapore (Bloomsbury Academic, 2025) explores Christian discourses of sex and sexuality in Singapore to argue that metanoia, the theological concept of spiritual transformation, can be read as a form of neo-homophobia that coaxes change in the queer individual. In Singapore, Christian discourses of sex and sexuality have materialised in the form of testimonials that detail the pain and suffering of homosexuality, and how Christianity has been a salve for the tribulations experienced by the storytellers. This book freshly engages with Michel Foucault's posthumous and final volume of The History of Sexuality by revitalising his work on biblical metanoia to understand it as a form of neo-homophobia. Drawing on Foucauldian critical theory and approaches in discourse studies, it shows how language is at the centre of this particular iteration of neo-homophobia, one that no longer finds value in overt expressions of hate and disdain for those with non-normative sexualities, but relies extensively on seemingly neutral calls for change and transformation in personal lives.Queer Correctives takes Singapore as a case study to examine neo-homophobic phenomena, but its themes of change and transformation embedded in discourse will be relevant for scholars interested in contemporary iterations of Foucault's concepts of discipline and technologies of the self. Together with interview data from religious sexual minorities in Singapore, it captures a burgeoning form of homophobic discursive practices that eludes mainstream criticism to harm through change and transformation. About Vincent Pak: Vincent Pak is Assistant Lecturer at The University of Hong Kong. His work is located in the fields of sociocultural linguistics and linguistic anthropology, where he's interested in matters of gender, sexuality, and race. His monograph, Queer Correctives, considers the emergence of neo-homophobia in Singapore. About Pavan Mano: Pavan Mano is Lecturer in Global Cultures in the Department of Interdisciplinary Humanities at King's College London.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveToday's guest is Geoff Shullenberger, the managing editor of Compact and a writer whose articles and reviews have appeared in American Affairs, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The New Atlantis, UnHerd, and more. Last week, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Geoff wrote an incisive piece titled, “The Return of the Assassin.” In it, he observes that the nature of violence has shifted in recent years, away from the mass shooting and towards the targeted political assassination. Why this is the case, and what it bodes for the future, is the subject of this week's podcast.The conversation provides historical perspective by comparing contemporary political (or quasi-political) violence to radical groups from the 1960s and 1970s like the Baader Meinhof group, the Red Brigades, the Black Panthers, and figures like Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver. Shadi Hamid distinguishes between left-wing violence (utopian, seeking new systems) and right-wing violence (preservationist, maintaining hierarchies). Geoff challenges this framework, noting that recent shooter profiles don't fit neatly into these categories. Damir Marusic notes that human beings always want events to “mean” something, but it may very well be that all this violence is essentially senseless.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, the guys discusses Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver; Geoff explains why he doesn't think we are on the brink of civil war; was the Charlie Kirk assassination an “honor killing”?; was January 6 a “mobilization”?; what Trump does next; were we living under a liberal dictatorship in 2020?; Damir on “the rotten Democratic Party”; Shadi says: “Nobody is blameless, but that doesn't mean everyone is equally to blame”; and more!Required Reading and Viewing:* Geoff Shullenberger, “The Return of the Assassin" (Compact).* Geoff Shullenberger, “Popular Justice” (The Point).* Tom Wolfe, “Radical Chic” (New York).* Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish (Amazon).* Martin Scorsese, Taxi Driver (IMDB). * Oliver Stone, JFK (IMDB).* Oliver Stone, Talk Radio (IMDB).* Eric Bogosian, Talk Radio (Amazon).* La Verkin City, Utah, United Nations-Free Zone Ordinance.* Punk rock picture of Oswald and Ruby.Free Preview Video:Full video for paid subscribers below:

Are we already living in some kind of fascist or technocratic dystopia? How do we avert the AI dystopia? These are the types of things that you'll see thrown about in op-eds and analysis pieces all over the net and the press. Dystopia is doing some kind of work in our political vocabulary that goes beyond a reference to those iconic dystopian novels or their sort of contemporary successors. … Sometimes politics seems to be so absorbed in the train of fantasy and the imaginary that it becomes worrying. But like it or not, or like specific expressions of the political imagination or not, the political arena is an arena of the imagination. Habermas once said that people don't fight for abstractions, but they do battle with images.                                                                                                                    – Matthew Benjamin Cole, NBN interview 2025 After centuries of contemplating utopias, late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers began to warn of dystopian futures. Yet these fears extended beyond the canonical texts of dystopian fiction into post-war discourses on totalitarianism, mass society, and technology, as well as subsequent political theories of freedom and domination. Fear the Future: Dystopia and Political Imagination in the Twentieth Century (U of Michigan Press, 2025) demonstrates the centrality of dystopian thinking to twentieth century political thought, showing the pervasiveness of dystopian images, themes, and anxieties. Offering a novel reading of major themes and thinkers, Fear the Future explores visions of the future from literary figures such as Yevgeny Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell; political theorists such as Max Weber, Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Jürgen Habermas, and Michel Foucault; and mid-century social scientists such as Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, David Reisman, C. Wright Mills, and Jacques Ellul. It offers a comparative analysis of distinct intellectual and literary traditions, including modern utopianism and anti-utopianism, mid-century social science, Frankfurt School critical theory, and continental political philosophy. With detailed case studies of key thinkers from the Enlightenment to the late twentieth century, the book synthesizes secondary literature and research from a range of disciplinary areas, including in political theory, intellectual history, literary studies, and utopian studies. This wide-ranging reconstruction shows that while dystopian thinking has illustrated the dangers of domination and dehumanization, it has also illuminated new possibilities for freedom.

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Ingrid Piller speaks with Sari Pietikainen about her new book Cold Rush (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024). This book is an original study of “Cold Rush,” an accelerated race for the extraction and protection of Arctic natural resources. The Northernmost reach of the planet is caught up in the double developments of two unfinished forces – rapidly progressing climate change and global economic investment - working simultaneously in tension and synergy. Neither process is linear or complete, but both are contradictory and open-ended. This book traces the multiplicity of Cold Rush in the Finnish Arctic, a high-stakes ecological, economic, and political hotspot. It is a heterogeneous space, understood as indigenous land within local indigenous Sámi people politics, the last frontier from a colonial perspective, and a periphery under the modernist nation-state regime. It is now transforming into an economic hub under global capitalism, intensifying climate change and unforeseen geo-political changes. Based on six years of ethnography, the book shows how people struggle, strategize, and profit from this ongoing, complex, and multidirectional change. The author offers a new theoretical approach called critical assemblage analysis, which provides an alternative way of exploring the dynamics between language and society by examining the interaction between material, discursive, and affective dimensions of Cold Rush. The approach builds on previous work at the intersection of critical discourse analysis, critical sociolinguistics, nexus analysis and ethnography, but expands toward works by philosophers Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari. This book will be of interest to researchers on language, discourse, and sociolinguistics interested in engaging with social critique embedded in global capitalism and accelerating climate change; as well as researchers in the social and human sciences and natural sciences, who are increasingly aware of the fact that the theoretical and analytical move beyond the traditional dichotomies like language/society, nature/human and micro/macro is central to understanding today´s complex, intertwined social, political, economic and ecological processes.
