Political resistance is flourishing. In this context, there is a
growing interest to reread Michel Foucault's work, especially from
the late period, from the perspective of resistance, social
movements and affirmative biopolitics. Yet what has been missing so
far is a book-length, comprehensive study focusing on this topic.
This volume undertakes this task, providing an original typology of
the resources of resistance discovered in Foucault's late thinking:
resistance as discursive protection of autonomy bodily and
affective resistance the strategies, arts and practices of
affirmative biopolitics or 'politics of life' The book shows how
these different types of tools, arts and practices can be used in
resistant politics, in struggles against various regimes and
institutions of power and government, so that they mutually
supplement and reinforce one another. The author embarks on
advancing Foucault's insights on resistance from where he stopped.
Furthermore, the volume proposes a novel assessment of the
Foucauldian political toolkit in the 21st century context,
addressing its pertinence for struggles against neoliberalism and
post-Fordist capitalism. Foucault, Biopolitics and Resistance will
be an important resource for students and scholars interested in
Foucault, resistance and 21st century politics within many fields,
including political science, international relations, contemporary
and continental philosophy as well as sociology. The work
elaborates fresh methodological insights, fruitful for further
empirical research on social and political movements.
