Power and Resistance: Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida, Althusser - Paperback
by Yoshiyuki Sato (Author)
Proposes a provocative reinterpretation of poststructuralist theory of power
The "structuralist" theories of power show that the subject is produced and reproduced by the investment of power: but how then can we think of the subject's resistance to power? Based on this fundamental question, Power and Resistance interprets critically the (post-)structuralist theory of power and resistance, i.e., the theories of Foucault, Deleuze/Guattari, Derrida and Althusser. It analyses also the mechanism of power and the strategies of resistance in the era of neoliberalism. This meticulous analysis that completely renewed the theory of power is already published in French, Japanese, and Korean with success.Yoshiyuki Sato is associate professor at University of Tsukuba (Japan), and did his PhD in philosophy at University of Paris X Nanterre. His recent publications are: Philosophy of Abandoning Nuclear Power (in Japanese, coauthored with Takumi Taguchi), Three revolutions: Political Philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari (in Japanese, coauthored with Jun Fujita Hirose).
