This volume analyses the ways in which the works of one of the most
influential philosophers of the twentieth century, Michel Foucault,
have been received and re-worked by scholars of South Asia. South
Asian Governmentalities surveys the past, present, and future lives
of the mutually constitutive disciplinary fields of governmentality
- a concept introduced by Foucault himself - and South Asian
studies. It aims to chart the intersection of post-structuralism
and postcolonialism that has seen the latter Foucault being used to
ask new questions in and of South Asia, and the experiences of
post-colonies used to tease and test the utility of European
philosophy beyond Europe. But it also seeks to contribute to the
rich body of work on South Asian governmentalities through a
critical engagement with the lecture series delivered by Foucault
at the College de France from 1971 until his death in 1984, which
have now become available in English.
