“…The result was a long paper that I sent to the editor of the Journal of Modern History, the world historian William McNeill, in 1977. McNeill wrote back to say that he had never heard of this person 'Michel Foucault' and had initially thought that my paper must be about the inventor of the Foucault pendulum. Still, he accepted the paper, which appeared in print in 1979 (Megill 1979). Meanwhile, I continued writing what eventually became Prophets of extremity.…”

Five questions on intellectual history

Rethinking History

Responding to questions posed by Mikkel Thorup (University of Aarhus), I recount how I was drawn to intellectual history by its breadth of concern and its relative epistemological modesty. I characterise it is as less a subfield of history than an interdisciplinary field aimed at clarifying problems and calling attention to limits. I reject the view that it ought to follow a single 'proper' approach: various approaches can be justified. I suggest that currently some important topics for intellectual historians to consider are religion, identity, problems of collective motivation, and our relations to the natural world.

El pensamiento de Foucault es una caja de herramientas que ha sido utilizada de muy diversos modos. Estas diferentes aplicaciones, sin embargo, no significan que su reflexión carezca de unidad. Para dar razón de esta afirmación este artículo realiza una reevaluación integral de la obra de Foucault centrada en la gubernamentalidad y muestra las articulaciones que dan razón de los principales poderes analizados por el pensador francés: soberano, disciplinario, biopolítico estatal y biopolítico (neo)liberal. El paso de unas tecnologías de poder a otras no implica que haya eras ni que los poderes desaparezcan. Lo que cambia es su prevalencia. El texto estudiará las diferencias del poder disciplinar y el biopoder, la transformación del poder disciplinario en biopoder estatal y la conversión de este en (neo)liberalismo.
