Owing to their philosophical ramifications, his ideas have also impacted the spheres of literary studies, ethics, political thought, and \"critical ontology.\" Few thinkers have left such an influence across such a diverse range of studies. Contributors attempt to pay homage to that diversity by presenting a multidisciplinary series of analyses dedicated to the question of \"power today.\" Drawn from a number of papers presented at an international conference entitled \"Michel Foucault and social Control: conducted at Maison de la culture Côte-des-Neiges in Montreal on May 8-10, 2004 to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Foucault's death, the essays that comprise this volume address the issue at both a theoretical level and as it pertains to specific fields of practice. In addition to paying tribute to Foucault's achievements and situating his thought within the French and larger European context from which it emerged, these essays also re-evaluate the relevance of Foucault's ideas for understanding contemporary conditions. This book is suited for a broad academic audience in the humanities and Social Sciences, especially philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Gabbard\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in the Department of Curriculum \u0026amp; Instruction of the College of Education, East Carolina University. \u003cb\u003eAlain Beaulieu\u003c\/b\u003e is lecturer at the Department of Philosophy, McGill University\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.02 x 5.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 13, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45849046155461,"sku":"9780739113240","price":115.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/ZmVbiT4EfE9780739113240.webp?v=1781278288","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/michel-foucault-and-power-today-international-multidisciplinary-studies-in-the-history-of-the-present-paperback-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
