Programme

Michel Foucault: Governmentality and Biopolitics.
The course aims to analyse the categories of "governmentality" and "biopolitics" as Michel Foucault treated them, particularly in his courses at the Collège de France in the second half of the 1970s. The aim of the course is to reconstruct and define the use of these categories - which today often recur in the most current debates - within the thought of Foucault, who was the first to conceive and consider them.
