By the time, these lectures had not yet been translated and would only arrive in the English language “market” by the late eighties to become popular by the beginning of the 2000s only. Doing International Studies Differently: Foucault on War, Space, Territory, Population and Governmentality My intention is neither to discuss the full context of Foucault’s series of lectures in the 1970s, nor develop in details about each of these lectures. Others have done this very well: Mauro Bertani, François Ewald, Alessandro Fontana, Frédéric Gros and Michel Sennelart especially.
What kind of “mulato” is French IR today? Has the mutual swallowing and absorbing of what is useful in a culture or a domain/form of knowledge eventually worked? I propose to proceed to Foucault’s “death relevailles”8 urging scholars daring to mitigate the philosopher and historian he was, to do so with a sociology and an anthropology of practices to perpetuate his fight to understand politics in the world against the renewed different disciplinary dogmas that claim to hold the appropriate knowledge of the way living beings are/ shall be governed and govern themselves.
As I will explain presently, Foucault (and, of course, I mean Foucault as I have configured him) deserves a good deal of the blame for the confusion. 10 This neglect should be no surprise, both because of the obession with governmentality reinforced by the recent publication of lectures Foucault delivered in the late 1970s and because the concerns animating the second and third volumes of The History of Sexuality and other late materials direct attention to the self as subject and the relation between aesthetics and ethics—topics claimed by other disciplines.
