In this book, Lambert's unique approach distills Foucault's thought into its most basic components in order to more fully understand its method and its own immanent rules of construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Elements of Foucault\u003c\/i\u003e presents a critical study of Foucault's concept of method from the earlier History of Sexuality, Volume 1, to his later lectures. Lambert breaks down Foucault's post-1975 analysis of the idea of biopower into four elements: the method, the conceptual device (i.e., dispositif), the grid of intelligibility, and the notion of \"milieu.\" Taken together, these elements compose the diagram of Foucault's early analysis and the emergence of the neoliberal political economy. Lambert further delves into how Foucault's works have been used and misused over time, challenging the periodization of Foucault's later thought in scholarship as well as the major and most influential readings of Foucault by other contemporary philosophers--in particular Gilles Deleuze and Giorgio Agamben. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Elements of Foucault \u003c\/i\u003eis the first generally accessible, yet rigorous and comprehensive, discussion of lectures and major published works of Foucault's post-1975 theory of biopower and of the major innovation of the concept of dispositif. It is also the first critical work to address the important influence of French philosopher Georges Canghuilhem on Foucault's thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregg Lambert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517908787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517908782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021","brand":"Gregg Lambert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088508498175,"sku":"9781517908782","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a95760c2-8ac8-40a1-8061-043557eda766.jpg?v=1769105157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-elements-of-foucault-gregg-lambert-9781517908782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
