The Illusion of Liberation. The Illusion of Liberation. While space in the modern era has opened up, enveloped nonetheless in a grid of administration, time, temporality and pace have closed in on animal man, constituting the foundations of a new general confinement.

A landscape on the moon, a geometrical plague . In the third section of. Foucault de...

http://powerfoundation.org/private-authorship
The emergence of the self-constituting subject is one of the deepest and least understood movements of the modern era something ideologues of a rationality they do not understand always equate to a challenge to central authority. Not so many years ago it was impossible not to hear of the death of the author. Looking around now we find nothing but authors: kids chatting endlessly in Yahoo!

The Calm Before the Storm. Virilio's debt to Foucault and some notes on contemporary global capital. The Calm Before the Storm. Before animal man could be set into motion, he first had to learn the discipline of stillness. Beneath the flow of political events and the evolution of political thought in the modern era, is a process of the regularization of human populations, readying them for the general discharge of the dromocratic state. In fact, there was no industrial revolution , but. Three implication...
