Karl Marx im 21. Jahrhundert. Perspektiven und Aktualität der Kapitalismuskritik (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Roberto Nigro

Inhalt: Karl Marx ist einer der wichtigsten Philosophen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der von Marx befestigte Weg zur Kapitalismuskritik beeinflusst so entscheidend die ganze zeitgenössische Kultur, dass man sagen kann, dass es eine Philosophie vor und nach Marx gibt. Im zeitgenössischen Denken bahnt Marx einen Weg von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Entstehung sog. poststrukturalistischer Theorien. Mit ihm ändert sich die Frage nach der Subjektivität von einer Frage nach der transzendentalen Stellung zu einer Position als Effekt oder Resultat sozialer Prozesse. In diesem Zusammenhang ist seine Theorie die Bedingung der Möglichkeit poststrukturalistischer Analysen. Das Seminar untersucht sein Werk und zeigt, wie relevant Marx'sche Schriften für die Analyse der Gegenwart und der Gesellschaft heute sind.

Towards new Practices of Freedom: Michel Foucault and the Subversion of Knowledge (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Roberto Nigro

Inhalt: A few years ago Foucault’s readers had still to grope in the dark to reconstruct the theoretical itinerary of his last production. In fact, after the publication of the first volume of The History of Sexuality in 1976, for eight long years Foucault did not add any further volume to the series he announced with The Will to Knowledge. When The Use of Pleasure and The Care of the Self, respectively second and third volumes of the series, appeared in 1984, only a few weeks before his death, it became evident that the initial project had undergone so important changes that its original inspiration could hardly be recognizable. Today, we are in a better position to understand the peculiarity of his last production, since important parts of his work are finally made available. In fact, the thirteen courses delivered at the Collège de France between 1970 and 1984 were recently published. The edition of the Dits et écrits, appeared in France in 1994 had already provided the almost entirety of articles, interviews, and conferences, Foucault wrote and pronounced throughout his whole life. These posthumous publications shed a new light on Foucault’s work and call our attention to new issues at stake in his work. They have fuelled interest in concepts such as biopolitics, governmentality, (neo-) liberal practices of government, subjectivation and subjection that are now at the forefront of political debates. They help to discover an important part of Foucault’s work, otherwise remained hidden, and to answer a question that has never ceased to haunt Foucault’s researchers: “what happened during the fairly long silence following The History of Sexuality?”. This seminar is supposed to partly answer this question. Moreover it intends to explore how practices of collective political subjectivation can allow us to radically rethink the collective political dimension today. The emphasis will be on attempting to formulate clearly the specific views and arguments of the philosopher. It will pay a specific attention to the analyses of the courses delivered at the Collège de France.
