5 Foucault’s argument: The ruling/regulating power ultimately decides and develops the systems for managing and controlling people: e.g., In different periods, power creates or changes the way people are managed and controlled : e.g., tools of control in the areas of : Education: F’s power/knowledge - knowledge of how people's behavior can powerfully be shaped. ‘Education’ is based on new techniques of social engineering, normalizing populations and control over society. Professions : represent the institutionalization of knowledge by those in power

6 “Power is no longer the conventional power of institutions and leaders, but instead the capillary modes of power that controls individuals and their knowledge, the mechanism by which power “reaches into the very grain of individuals, touches their bodies and inserts itself into their actions and attitudes, their discourses, learning processes and everyday lives.” (Foucault, Michel. Power/Knowledge, p. 30) UCalif corporatization: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iopSdBFchM 3min

7 youtube video on Ucalif: Uploaded on Nov 21, 2009 "What happened about 1980 was that states started to cut their funding of higher education, & so universities looked for other ways of making money, & so they concentrated on raising funds & doing research, & especially research funded by corporations & the federal government. And so, basically now at a lot of universities, instruction only represents about ten percent of the budget, and so its a minor aspect of the universities. And most people dont know that, that universities, in some ways, are just kind of fronts for investment banks and investments...." Bob Samuels, president of the University of California American Federation of Teachers, interviewed on Democracy Now, 20 Nov 2009 http://changinguniversities.blogspot....

14 Biopower: The operations of power that secure and defend the nation-state as it circulates within civil society F’s biopower refers to the techniques of “subjugation of bodies and the control of populations.” 18 th C: Power was intertwined into the development of capitalism as the bodies of workers were inserted into the production machinery and population was applied to economic processes. Segregation and social hierarchization ensured “relations of domination and effects of hegemony” War of attrition or racial conflicts defend the Society, i.e., the nation-state. ‘if I want to live, you must die’ into a biological formulation: ‘death of the bad race, of the inferior race (or the degenerate, or the abnormal)
