Description

In Foucault, Politics, and Violence, Johanna Oksala challenges the assumption of the inextricability of violence from the political that is often based on excessively broad, ontological conceptions of violence distinct from its concrete and physical meaning and, on the other hand, on a restrictively narrow and empirical understanding of politics as the realm of conventional political institutions. Oksala turns to three of Foucaults recently published lectures, focusing on Society Must Be Defended; Security, Territory, Population; and The Birth of Biopolitics. She also critically assesses and brings to bear philosophers who advocate agonistic, conflict-centered conceptions of politics, such as Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, Chantal Mouffe, and Slavoj Zizek. Her inquiry outlines an agonistic conception of the political that builds not on an ontology of violence but on a poststructuralist denial of all essentialist political ontologies.
