di pdivittorio

Présentation

“L’évolution de la psychiatrie, le progrès dans l’accueil des malades et dans le soutien qui leur est apporté sont historiquement indissociables d’un certain engagement éthique et politique des soignants en psychiatrie, d’une certaine valeur accordée à la dignité humaine et d’un combat contre ce qui dévalorise l’homme.”
Jacques Hochmann

Les maladies mentales, plus que toute autre maladie humaine, sont sources de stigmatisation, de rejet social, de mépris, de mauvais traitements et de peur. Et ce d’autant plus que, dans la grande majorité des cas, on ignore encore aujourd’hui l’origine exacte de ces troubles, ce qui laisse livre cours à toutes les théories explicatives, y compris les plus hasardeuses.

Dans une société où la démocratie recule et où la subjectivité de chacun est réduite au statut d’entrepreneur de soi-même en compétition avec les autres, la psychiatrie se réduit-elle « au service du nouvel ordre économique » ? Le militantisme n’a pas disparu. Il anime en particulier les associations de patients et, parfois de manière très offensive, des associations de familles, ainsi que tous ceux, confrontés à la précarité qui se préoccupent, dans une perspective de santé mentale, des nouvelles souffrances sociales engendrées par la crise économique, la paupérisation et la migration… (suite)

ECONOMY AND SOCIETY Michel Foucault and Governmentality

In the past twenty years Economy and Society has been decisive in developing Michel Foucault’s analyses 

of ‘governmentality’, pressing this concept into service in new domains. In a wide range of articles written from 

diverse disciplinary backgrounds, scholars have clarified the conceptual vocabulary and empirical vitality of the 

notion of ‘the conduct of conduct’ for political and social analysis. In addition to a special issue dedicated to this 

theme (‘Liberalism, Neo-Liberalism and Governmentality’ 22.3, 1993), there has been debate about the 

relationships that may pertain between liberal government, despotism and authoritarianism (Valverde 1996, 
Dean 2001), consideration of the ways in which Foucault’s conceptual vocabulary can help to reframe 
key problems in political theory (Burchell 1993, Hunter 1990, Hindess 1997, Pasquino 1993), analysis 
of the implications of Foucault’s work for the methodological assumptions of the human sciences, 
and for the analysis of the social, including the government of diverse fields such as health, 
poverty, unemployment, policing, risk, and ethical conduct (Osborne 1993, Rose 1996, Dean 1992, O’Malley 1992, Cruikshank 1993).  The journal has housed debate about the significance of governmentality outside western liberal  

contexts (eg Sigley 1996, Keane 2002), and concerning the transformations of government produced by new 

technologies of warfare and welfare (Donzelot 2008, O’Malley 2010).

Foucault across the disciplines: introductory notes on contingency in critical inquiry

           Abstract:Foucault is one of the most widely cited thinkers across social sciences and humanities disciplines today. Foucault’s appeal, and ongoing value, across the disciplines has much to do with the power of his thought and his method to help us see the contingency of practices we take to be inevitable. It is argued in this introductory article that Foucault’s emphasis on contingency is as misunderstood as it is influential. I distinguish two senses of contingency in Foucault. A first sense, widely acknowledged, concerns Foucault’s facility at showing that a taken-for-natural practice is in fact contingently produced. A second sense, widely neglected, concerns the facility of Foucauldian methods for grasping how a given practice was contingently produced. The second sense of contingency opens up possibilities for practical transformation that the former sense of contingency largely leaves to the side.
