{"product_id":"foucault-and-power-marcelo-hoffman-9781501308284","title":"Foucault and Power","description":"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to explain the development of Foucault's thinking about power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Using newly translated and unpublished materials, it examines what led Foucault to take on the question of power in the early 1970s and subsequently refine his thinking, working through different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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcelo Hoffman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501308289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501308284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Marcelo Hoffman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124250177791,"sku":"9781501308284","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4416b23-77e4-403b-b2c4-37629ede0d25.jpg?v=1687435639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foucault-and-power-marcelo-hoffman-9781501308284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
