United by the common influence of Foucault's approach, they explore the many modern manifestations of government: the reason of state, police, liberalism, security, social economy, insurance, solidarity, welfare, risk management, and more. The central theme is that the object and the activity of government are not instinctive and natural things, but things that have been invented and learned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Foucault Effect\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes the thought behind practices of government and argues that criticism represents a true force for change in attitudes and actions, and that extending the limits of some practices allows the invention of others. This unique and extraordinarily useful collection of articles and primary materials will open the way for a whole new set of discussions of the work of Michel Foucault as well as the status of liberalism, social policy, and insurance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham Burchell\u003c\/b\u003e, a contributor to \u003ci\u003eRadical Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Ideology and Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e, is a freelance researcher and translator. \u003cb\u003eColin Gordon\u003c\/b\u003e, a former research assistant to Michel Foucault at the College de France, is the editor and translator of Foucault's \u003ci\u003ePower\/Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e and translator of \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophical Imaginary\u003c\/i\u003e by Michelle LeDoeuff. \u003cb\u003ePeter Miller\u003c\/b\u003e serves as convener of the Department of Accounting and Finance at the London School of Economics and Political Science. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 09, 1991\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45259970904166,"sku":"9780226080451","price":39.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/VVNBcDY5emJXMko2VjRqdGp3VHVUZz09.webp?v=1773859834","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-foucault-effect-studies-in-governmentality-with-two-lectures-by-and-an-interview-with-michel-foucault-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
