Governmentality and what next?: Michel Foucault’s methodological imagination

Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 3

Abstract

Michel Foucault does not respect in his thinking disciplinary borders. As a result, his analysis found inspiration in the conceptual inventions that were created outside of, and sometimes contrary to the traditional conceptual repertoires of sciences. Often initiated only on a trial basis and even by chance, were those inventions „barbarous” or just „obnoxious” according to Foucault himself, but yet necessary for the formation of a mental space occupied by items that no one previously suspected. Over time, this kind of conceptual creatures, which grew from Foucauldian imagination, become specific centres of productivity of his thoughts.<br/><br/>
