Securing Populations: Foucault And The Cartography Of Natural Bodies, Andrew A.T. Grant

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The concept of biopolitics tends towards universal applicability and thus analytical impotency. By examining Foucault’s lecture seminars that address this concept directly and indirectly, this project aims to delimit its coordinates for future use. To do so, I begin by looking at the way biopolitical discourses on the population constituted liberal governmentality in the eighteenth century.

This notion seems important to understanding new forms of political engagement which do not limit …
