Introduction: The Norplant® Condition as a Problematic in Contemporary Liberalism

let's backtrack for a second (or a third). here's the beginning of the beginning for this one...
Introduction: The Norplant® Condition as a
Problematic in Contemporary Liberalism


1. Introduction

In recent years, vibrant international women's health movements have articulated a meaningful politics of reproductive well being. Many have convincingly argued that governmental policies of population control may interfere with women's (and men's) reproductive rights through coercion, "incentives," and ...

definitions of ideology and liberalism

going backward. see below for beginning

7. Definitions of Ideology and Liberalism

While this inquiry into Foucault's concepts of ideology and liberalism is necessarily incomplete, it has provided a means to reflect upon ways to expand his notion of liberalism not only to apply to Norplant®, but to political phenomena at large. At this juncture, it is useful to synthesize these definitions to arrive at operational definitions of both terms. These ideas are particularly critical for a considera...

WHAT IS LIBERALISM?

this is running backwards. See below for beginning. Chapter Three opens this post. I'm quite tired of Chomsky.

4. What is Liberalism?

It is at this juncture, by way of an understanding of Foucault's notion of the episteme, as well as his reading of science and ideology that I now turn back to the question, what is liberalism? It is by way of two of Foucault's lectures ("The Birth of Biopolitics" and "Security, Territory, and Population") that I return to this question (Rabinow, ed. 1994, 73-79...

Archaeology of Knowledge

this is running backwards. scroll below for the beginning

3. The Archaeology of Knowledge: Unearthing Foucault's Definitions of Ideology

While Foucault's notions of discursivity have gained a certain currency in postmodern criticism, his archaeological focus on discursive formations in The Archaeology of Knowledge is frequently lacking in many accounts of Foucault's politics. While some of Foucault's texts receive frequent attention, in overlooking others, a drastic error is made. In The Arc...

Foucault's Discipline and the Rationalities of Contemporary

Foucault's Discipline and the Rationalities of Contemporary
Liberal Governance: or the end of ideology as ideology

1. Introduction

I aim to present a basic outline of the contributions and problematics of Foucault's conceptualizations of power, followed by a more detailed analysis of his works, extending well beyond his later and disciplinary period. Foucault's notions of disciplinary power, power/knowledge, and resistance are all highly significant. However, it will be argued here that portr...

Bear

inhale all the green
no tide is ticking,
but washing up.

when nannten das kind BEAR
and also coyote
unblank the stare
so as not to touch
back before the ten thousand things

when roots and rain,
I run out of space
these funny spectacles
to wear, avalanche eros
and the precarious
huts in sits; steeple man
dossled in throne in sleep.

"w.." "another man stone roughs itself?"
another can it snow?
another? beneath the sky
into ground goes"
