48Foucault and the Strategic Model of PowerCritical Horizons 15 (1): 14-27. 2014.Allen criticizes Foucault for having a “narrow and impoverished conception of social interaction, according to which all such interaction is strategic.” I challenge this claim, partly on the basis of comments by Foucault which explicitly acknowledge and in some cases endorse forms of non-strategic interaction, but more importantly on the basis of the significant changes in Foucault’s concept of power that he elaborated in lectures from 1978 onwards and in “The Subject and Power.” His 1975–1976 l…Read more

25Deleuze, Rawls et la philosophie politique utopiqueCités 40 (4): 75-86. 2009.Les philosophies politiques de Deleuze et de Rawls comportent toutes deux une dimension utopique immanente, qui offre un cadre et un prétexte utiles pour la comparaison. Les travaux des deux auteurs paraissent au premier abord articulés sur des plans profondément différents : alors que ceux du premier expriment une orientation principalement critique, ceux du second ont pour premier objectif...

58Deleuze and DemocracyContemporary Political Theory 4 (4): 400-413. 2005.This article responds to Philippe Mengue's claim that Deleuzian political philosophy is fundamentally hostile to democracy. After outlining key elements of the attitude towards democracy in Deleuze and Guattari's work, it addresses three major arguments put forward in support of this claim. The first relies on Deleuze's rejection of transcendence and his critical remarks about human rights; the second relies on the contrast between majoritarian and minoritarian politics outlined in A Thousand Pl…Read more

75Foucault, critique and rightsCritical Horizons 6 (1): 267-287. 2005.This paper outlines Foucault's genealogical conception of critique and argues that it is not inconsistent with his appeals to concepts of right so long as these are understood in terms of his historical and naturalistic approach to rights. This approach is explained by reference to Nietzsche's account of the origins of rights and duties and the example of Aboriginal rights is used to exemplify the historical character of rights understood as internal to power relations. Drawing upon the contempo…Read more

Of fundamental importance to literary critics and philosophers,Difference and Repetition develops two central conceptspure difference and complex repetition&mdasha;and shows how the two concepts are related. While difference implies divergence and decentering, repetition is associated with displacement and disguising. Central in initiating the shift in French …Read more
