reviewed by Zara Pfeiffer

"The more open the game, the more attractive and fascinating it is." (Michel Foucault)

The question of identity and sexuality, Michel Foucault is both fascinating and voyeuristic . reflects the theoretical play of the balance of power of his analysis of power in the specific power games of the SM clubs in San Francisco? Undoubtedly, the theory of Foucault can not be separated from that of the person and the life of Michel Foucault, one-sided focus was on life, neglecting the theory lose their initial appeal, but certainly fast. The
Anthology The game of Earthly Delights. Sexuality, identity and power in Michel Foucault, edited by Marvin Chlada and Marc-Christian fighters resisting the lure of short-term and presents the theory of Michel Foucault to the center of attention without hiding his life.

will be opened "The game of Earthly Delights" by Marc-Christian hunter with a comprehensive and not just for newbies Foucault recommended introduction to Michel Foucault's concept of power. The footnotes to the text-fireworks - 539 on 45 pages - the text sometimes confused when reading, but contains interesting references for interested Leser_innen and sources. The
subsequent demolition Concern for itself of Annette Schlemm the question of the art of living in the light of self-care and the Foucauldian subject constitution, however, is advised unfortunately a bit thin, possibly due to the brevity of the text of just 4 pages. In the not-easy-to-read review desires of the body without organs or desire? deals Marvin Chlada with Foucault's critique of the desire concept as expressed, inter alia, by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari: Just as Foucault understand the liberation of the power rather than the opposite, but as an integral part of power, so is he not a question of desire and to rid desire, but rather to experiment with bodies and the pleasures and to enjoy other bodies and desires. Jürgen asks Mümken in Who am I? - What am I? basis of the terms sexual identity, sexual orientation and gender identity to the meaning of identity and gender in the work of Max Stirner and Michel Foucault, and contrasts them with each other. In orders of sexuality features Marc-Christian by hunters in the light of Foucault's reception of de Sade and Georges Bataille, Foucault's distinction between disciplinary power and sadistic SM subculture. The game ends with the text of the desires From the desire for entrepreneurial self-subject of Andrea D. Bührmann in which retraces the route from the subject of desire towards a neoliberal entrepreneurial self. Bührmann stressed that allows the Gouvernementalitätsvorlesungen inspired by Foucault's view of governmentality-studies a corresponding naturalizing and corresponding ontological perspective on current processes of individualization and subjectification.

The question raised by Foucault question of the relationship between sexuality, identity and power is examined in The game of Earthly Delights from different perspectives. The fact that the articles contained therein as to length, readability, Depth and ambition are very heterogeneous, both strength and weakness of the band, which is appropriate especially for a first introduction to the thinking of Michel Foucault. It should be noted also is that one's reading practice is the less sturdy envelope a little too clearly documented.

heterotopias - with the ships dream

"In the colony we have a heterotopia that is, as naive enough to want to achieve an illusion. In the brothel we have, however, a heterotopia that is subtle and clever enough to dispel the reality only by the power of illusion to want to. And if you consider that ships big ships of the 19th Century, a piece are floating space ships places without a place to rely entirely on themselves, self-contained and also the endless sea that travel from port to port, from guard to guard, from brothel to brothel until the colonies to to get the most precious thing to authentic gardens just described, it is clear why the boat for 16 of our civilization, at least since the Century not only have been the main vehicle for economic development but also the largest reservoir of the imagination. The ship is the heterotopia par excellence. Civilizations that have no ships are like children whose parents do not have a double bed, on which they can play. Then dry up your dreams. In place of adventure where does the spying and the place of the glorious Freu Beuter the ugly police "

Michel Foucault: Power and Freedom

If the resistance is also part of the power and this strengthens possibly without us the ever notice how then is it still politically obstructive action possible? On this issue, the debate go on a first reading of "The will to knowledge" with the feeling of each step we would inevitably be more entangled in the power networks.
Well, the first reading and the desperate knowledge are now also back a few years. The theoretical confusion and inability to act was certainly not unimportant for the questioning of one's actions.

"One should also note that there may be relations of power only to the extent to which subjects are free. If one of them completely at the disposal of others and would become his cause would be a subject on which this boundless and could exercise unlimited violence, there would be no power relations. This may be a power relationship, it requires so on both side of a specific form of freedom. Even if the power relationship is completely out of balance when you can really say that one all the power held by the other, so the power can be on the other exercise only to the extent that this is the possibility remains to be to kill, to jump out the window or the other to kill. This means that in power relations necessarily are ways of resistance, because if there is no possibility of resistance - of violent resistance, flight, guile, strategies, reverse the situation - there, then there would be no power relations. Against this general background, I refuse to answer the question that makes me sometimes ". There But if power is everywhere, then there is no resistance," I reply: If it Machtbeziehugen are pervading the social fabric, then because there is freedom everywhere. Now there is in fact rule states. In many cases, the power relations are reinforced such that they are asymmetrical in the long term and the margin of freedom is extremely limited. [...] In such a situation, the rule must be to all these questions, depending on the type and the precise form Herrchaft the answer to each specific manner. The claim, however: "You see, power is everywhere, therefore there is no room for freedom", seems completely inappropriate. Man I can not ascribe to the notion that might is an Herrschaftssysem that controls everything and leaves no room for freedom "

debate Foucault vs Chomsky

The debate between Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky in 1971, moderated by Fons Elders and on Dutch television, entitled "On the nature of human beings: justice versus power "was broadcasted, is now on orange press under the title" Power and justice. been a debate between Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky published.

The assertion " orange-press sets this impressive document of recent history of philosophy for the first time on
German before" does not quite (the more disappointing when it is written off simply as a k of Adi Quarti in ). As it has probably saved the trouble of flipping through the "Dits et Ecrits " by Foucault, which are in German by Suhrkamp Verlag. In the second volume under the number 132 can also be the talk of the two looked up (as it has since 2002!). Well. Easy to lift as the "Dits et Ecrits" (and cheaper) to issue orange press is read once and - no matter where - well worth it. Promised. And who wants
