Foucault Studies

Foucault Studies is an academic field that explores the ideas of philosopher Michel Foucault, focusing on how power, knowledge, and social institutions influence human behavior and societal structures. It examines topics like how prisons, hospitals, schools, and governments shape our understanding of truth, identity, and morality. By analyzing historical texts and contemporary practices, Foucault Studies seeks to understand how power operates subtly and often invisibly, impacting individual freedoms and social organization. Essentially, it investigates the ways knowledge and power are intertwined and how they influence the way societies function and individuals experience their place within them.
