Description
Abnormal Lectures at the Collège de France, 1974-1975
These lectures, delivered in 1974-1975, represent a pivotal moment in Michel Foucault's work, where he explores the concept of the "network of power and knowledge" that underpins discipline, normalization, and biopolitics.
Foucault argues that the notion of the abnormal, which emerged in the early nineteenth century, is a complex and multifaceted concept that links deformity, delinquency, and sexual deviancy. He contends that power must be seen as both coercive and productive, with a focus on positive techniques of intervention and transformation.
