A concise introductory guide. When does a useful institutional category become a way to govern people? This original English introduction follows Michel Foucault from archaeology and genealogy through discipline, surveillance, sexuality, biopolitics, biopower, governmentality, resistance, and late ethics. It examines the limits of his historical claims and asks which moral standards a contemporary critique must state openly.
