Abstract

"La dernière décennie de Michel Foucault a coïncidé avec l'agonie des espoirs de transformation sociale qui avaient marqué l'après-guerre. Face à cette «fin de la révolution», le philosophe a tenté de réinventer la manière dont nous pensons la politique et la résistance, ce que sa génération n'avait, jugeait-il, pas réussi à faire. C'est dans cette perspective qu'il s'est intéressé au néolibéralisme en tant qu'outil permettant de repenser les fondements conceptuels de la gauche et d'imaginer une gouvernementalité plus tolérante aux expérimentations sociales, ouvrant un espace aux pratiques minoritaires et à une plus grande autonomie du sujet vis-à-vis de lui-même. Le moyen, en somme, de réaliser le projet énoncé à la fin de sa vie, celui de n'être «pas tellement gouverné». Et c'est ainsi que, dans sa quête d'une «gouvernementalité de gauche», Foucault a anticipé et contribué, en quelque sorte, au façonnement de la situation politique contemporaine."

Abstract

State Phobia and Civil Society draws extensively upon the work of Michel Foucault to argue for the necessity of the concept of the state in political and social analysis. In so doing, it takes on not only the dominant view in the human sciences that the concept of the state is outmoded, but also the large interpretative literature on Foucault, which claims that he displaces the state for a de-centered analytics of power. Understanding Foucault means understanding all his interlocutors—whether Marxists, Maoists, neoliberals, or social democrats. It requires turning to Foucault's colleagues, including Deleuze and Guattari, François Ewald, and Blandine Kreigel, in relation to whom he carved out a position. And it entails an examination of his legacy in Hardt and Negri, the theorists of Empire, or in Nikolas Rose, the influential English sociologist. Foucault's own view is highly ambiguous: he claims to be concerned with the exercise of political sovereignty, yet his work cannot make visible the concept of the state. Moving beyond Foucault, the authors outline new ways of conceiving the state's role in establishing social order and in mediating between an inequality-producing capitalist economy and the juridical equality and political rights of individuals. Arguing that states and their cooperation remain of vital importance to resolving contemporary crises, they demonstrate the interdependence of state and civil society and the necessity of social forms of governance.
