Foucault, Marxism and Critique

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the intersection of Foucault's theories and Marxist analysis, Barry Smart explores the complexities of power dynamics, particularly in individualizing forms and power-knowledge relationships. He highlights the emergence of 'the social' and its implications for political socialization. By contrasting Foucault's genealogical approach with Marxist perspectives, Smart positions Foucault's work as a distinct critical theory aimed at analyzing rationalities and the rationalization of power relations.
