Michel Foucault defined critique as an exercise in
de-subjectivation. To what extent did this claim shape his
philosophical practice? What are its theoretical and ethical
justifications? Why did Foucault come to view the production of
subjectivity as a key site of political and intellectual
emancipation in the present? Andrea Rossi pursues these questions
in The Labour of Subjectivity. The book re-examines the genealogy
of the politics of subjectivity that Foucault began to outline in
his lectures at the College de France in the late 1970s and early
1980s. He explores Christian confession, raison d'etat, biopolitics
and bioeconomy as the different technologies by which Western
politics has attempted to produce, regulate and give form to the
subjectivity of its subjects. Ultimately Rossi argues that
Foucault's critical project can only be comprehended within the
context of this historico-political trajectory, as an attempt to
give the extant politics of the self a new horizon.
