This lecture discusses key ideas from the work of the 20th century philosopher and historian, Michel Foucault, "The Subject and Power"

It focuses specifically on why he thinks that it is important to focus on the "How" of power relations, rather than just the "What" and the "Why". He also distinguishes objective capacities from communicative/sign systems, and power relations, and discusses how they interconnect with each other. He finishes with the notion of "disciplines" as blocks of these three, and what the disciplining of society would mean (it's not that everything is a prison)

This lecture discusses key ideas from the work of the 20th century philosopher and historian, Michel Foucault, "The Subject and Power"

It focuses specifically on the section "How Is One To Analyze The Power Relationship", in which Foucault argues that the primary focus cannot be placed upon institutions or the political sphere. Instead, they need to be examined in terms of power-relations.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher of art, George Dickie's article "What Is Art? An Institutional Analysis".

Specifically it examines Dickie's attempt to provide a new "institutional" definition of "work of art". This is meant to be a classificatory, rather than evaluative definition, and makes reference to his conception of the "artworld".
