I just found your channel for the first time, and THANK YOU for this. I’m a PhD student who has to read and understand this book for a seminar next week, and I’ve been so utterly lost-even with study guides and Sparknotes. Then I spend a little time listening to you, and everything starts to click! Checking out parts 2, 3, and 4 now. Thank you thank you!
I’m glad you are getting back into more generalized content while still being outspoken about Palestine. The history was great and super enjoyable but I was worried it would start to get repetitive.
AoK has always been the most important theory book for me, having studied literature as a passage way to cultural semiotics and history of "thought systems". So I do very much look forward to your podcast, being most interested in the concept of "enonces", statement-events. (And I share your rage about the war in Palestine, btw.)
There are different criteria that form the question "what is something", for example: what is history? Any question that begins with "what is" can be a description and a proscription. Of course, my answer comes from a certain set of criteria. es. "I would imagine other worlds, but all those worlds depend on others, including me..."
Thank you for going back to this! I liked the convo but it wasnt precisely what i was looking for after watching some of ur other Foucault and Baudrillard ones. free palestine 🇵🇸
Barthes : how many shades of green does a new born see ? Probably an infinite number. Adults say : its just green. Imagine a tree : everyone has a different, and the word tree abstract from the differences. Its excludes differences by unifying.
History only captured things that where written down, which IS just a part of the World. However there is also oral, music and others mediums to tell History. So much has been erased, forgotten
Total history moves to general history. No broad temporalization. Reapropriation to account for different perspectives. Establish a series. Account for all the new ideas, new perspectives. New way to explain deviations without abandonning the historical method.
Abandoment for search of origins, new type of rationality. In other domains. But history still tries to homogenize. To select. Other fields like history of science, welcoming of discontuinty. No facts fit to canon. Canon can be dismissed. Interresting transformation. Archeology : search for discontinuities. Thats what establishes period and canon. Difference btw document and monument.
The quote at the end of the introduction is more powerful in the original : « Ne me demandez pas qui je suis et ne me dites pas de rester le même : c’est une question morale d’état civil ; elle régit nos papiers. Qu’elle nous laisse libres quand il s’agit d’écrire. »
Hey been a long time fan. Is there any chance that you could do a video on Levinas' zionism? I think it's fairly interesting how it has affected his thought, and generally is a fairly large stain on his ouevre. Thanks!
To Perceive is to Know, moment by moment. All that exists is perceived (and vise versa)! ALL concepts (that which is perceived) is Knowledge. What's so difficult? ;) Re; Palestine; Karma is NEVER wrong! And everyone has an expiration date, whether Palestinian or Peruvian, child, adult, anyone. Taking sides is hateful.
You love these comments, so here we go, in Barthes, you can completly ignore the "h" and the "s", so no need to make that "th" sound (it does not exist in French at all). Why do you pronounce it like that?!
The first time you covered it was better. This is mostly because you used to be better at explaining Foucault focusing on descriptive claims, but over the years your video have become more and more prescriptive. Foucault himself was wary of this.
@@darillus1 They are more focused on pointing out perceived injustices than on explaining exactly how knowledge is socially constructed. The result is an explanation that make construction of knowledge seem like it is something to be avoided instead of something that is inevitable. Foucault comes of as a moralizer which he really wasn't and it is a shame he is perceived like that.

Thanks very much David. This video podcast on Foucault was excellent.
That's very generous of you! Thank you!

We love you! Just continue with noble and good work 💪❤️
I love your work
Thank you professor! Your students are so lucky!
This is great. It will help me in teaching Jurisprudence this semester.
your snarkiness is much appreciated 👍

I just wanted to tell you I LOVE ur work. I have adhd so its really hard for me to read all this philosophy even tho i love it. So THANK YOU, really.

Language simplifies thé World but isnt neutral, its bound up with histories and interests

History looked for totalities, unifying worldviews. Deviations not complying where seen as errors. Homogenizing entire people.
Total history moves to general history. No broad temporalization. Reapropriation to account for different perspectives.

Good to hear from you again!
@@TheoryPhilosophy I’m looking forward to the other videos in this series!
This is amazing. Maybe I'll finally be able to fully understand Foucault's worst book (I probably won't)

Are you going to cover Wittgenstein's philosophy?
Thanks, David, for identifying some trustworthy organizations for the relief of Palestinians.

how are they more prescriptive?

@@Firmus777 so he has become more woke?
@@darillus1 Basically, yes.
@@Firmus777 so we need a more unbiased coverage of Foucault from Theory & Philosophy?
