  1. My contribution interprets Foucault's recurrent post-1970 reflections on the appropriate method for analysing power relations on the basis of two archival documents: a reading note on Erich Ludendorff's 'Der totale Krieg' and a manuscript in which Foucault discusses his concept of 'governmentality'. I use the Ludendorff note to propose that his method for analysing power relations from the first half of the 1970s, whose basic assumption is that power relations are warlike in essence, may not immediately be derived from a reading of Nietzsche but from a projection of Ludendorff's ideas onto Nietzsche's work. The note on 'governmentality' is used to argue that despite a very significant post-1976 revision of his method for analysing power, Foucault retained the notion that politics is warfare, this time leaning on Carl Schmitt's political theory.

    I finished writing this article in early 2024. I am very glad that it has finally seen the light of day, and in such an overall impressive issue of Foucault Studies at that.

  3. My latest study (just out!) is “Legacies of #Legibility: Genealogical Story-Telling as an Echo of #State Power”, published in the Journal of #FamilyHistory. The paper uses ideas from #Foucault (#governmentality), #Scott, & #Tilly to assess the risks of genealogy #research that relies upon state #records (e.g., #census, #BMD, etc.) which were created for the purposes of state-formation. hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:

  8. So grateful that the Kingfisher Institute for the Liberal Arts and Professions invited me to join their panel last night on Population Health. I got to talk about Benedict Anderson and how the concept of population inherently asks questions about #governmentality and #biopolitics. Then we used #Dickens’s Bleak House for an example. #MedHums #MedicalHumanities

  19. All the discussions of China's Zero Covid policy really proving Foucault's conception of the "perfect city" and #governmentality during an outbreak of #disease to be true. The relationship between the city, disease, and governmentality is central to so much of our experience in the recent past
