Michel Foucault's lectures

Michel Foucault’s lectures explore how power and knowledge intertwine in society, shaping what is considered normal or true. He examines institutions like prisons, schools, and hospitals, showing how they influence behavior and reinforce social norms. Foucault emphasizes that power is not just top-down but diffused throughout social relations, affecting individuals’ thoughts and actions. His work reveals how knowledge systems create and maintain social control, often invisible to those governed. Ultimately, his lectures encourage us to critically analyze how power operates in everyday life and how it shapes our perceptions and identities.
