I look at Michel Foucault's
I look at Michel Foucault's ideas about social and political power through a number of concepts - biopower, governmentality, and the subject.
Foucault developed his understanding of power throughout a number of texts, including 'Why Study Power?', the lectures collected in 'Security, Territory, and Population', and the selected interviews in 'Power/Knowledge'.
importantly for Foucault, biopower shapes individuals as well as constraining them. Modern power is very different to the juridical power that social contract thinkers like Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau theorized - the power of the sovereign to make laws.
Modern power aims to know the efficiency of a population and manage it. It creates norms and standards. It disciplines and encourages.
In the final section, I quickly address a few criticisms of Foucault's work.
