Recenzii
'Politics and technology are increasingly intertwined. Villadsen's lucid and well-informed examination of Michel Foucault's reflections on the topic greatly advances our understanding of what is currently at stake.'
'This book provides a lucid, coherent, and impressively wide-ranging argument for understanding technology as an essential dimension of Foucault's thought. Moving beyond customary understandings of technology, Villadsen's presentation of Foucault as a technological thinker convincingly demonstrates not only the enduring relevance of his thought but also its agenda-setting potential for future studies. An impressive feat!'
'This magnificent book will transform Foucault scholarship. Erudite, inventive, meticulously researched, and powerfully argued, it offers an original and extraordinarily generative reading of Foucault. Using the guiding thread of technology to take us through Foucault's vast corpus, Villadsen also offers powerful ways to navigate the disorienting landscape of new technologies today. This is a true tour de force.'
'Villadsen has proven himself a foremost interpreter of Foucault's analytical toolbox. In this book, Villadsen contextualizes Foucault within philosophy and social theory, exploring both Foucault's affinities with, and departures from, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Althusser, and Deleuze. For those of us struggling to grasp our current condition, Villadsen provides an indispensable mapping, but also ways to analyze the problems posed by techno-capitalism.'
