4.9/5 (17833 ratings)

Description:Political resistance is flourishing. While Foucault has been and still is primarily known as a thinker of power and government/governmentality, there has been a growing interest to reread his work from the perspective of contentious political practice, resistance and social movements.Although literature abounds on the topics of Foucault, resistance, counter-conduct and affirmative biopolitics, what has been missing so far is a book-length study that examines late Foucault's body of texts in a comprehensive manner from this perspective and presents an encompassing account. Thus, this work hopes to offer fresh methodological insights, fruitful for further empirical research on social and political movements in today's world. An original typology is provided of the different sorts of resources, tactics, arts, techniques and tools of resistance contained in what the author has termed 'the Foucaultian toolkit'resistance as discursive protection of autonomy particularly Foucault's elaborations of Stoicism and Enlightenment);bodily and affective resistance in aphrodisia and gay/queer mode of life together with 20th century art and aesthetics)the strategies and exercises of affirmative biopolitics (Foucault's engagement with Oriental spirituality and ancient Cynic philosophyThe book shows how these different types of political tools and arts can be used in actual resistant practices, in struggles against different regimes and institutions of power and government, so that they mutually complement and reinforce one another.
