This essay is an introduction to the intentions and purposes of the british play writer Sarah Kane (1971-1999). Her own voice is presented both via quotations linked to her work and by an explanation of her connections to the surrealist poet and actor Antonin Artaud. The main focus is on Kane’s second play, Phaedra’s Love, first performed in 1996. The play is analyzed in co-relation to La volonté de savoir, the first volume in Michel Foucault’s trilogy Histoire de la sexualité. The analysis concentrates on how the structures in society control and act in relationship to and in collision with desire. In La volonté de savoir Michel Foucault presents the thesis that there exists a special talk about sex and sexuality. A talk that states that these are repressed issues. Foucault asserts that such a talk originates from several discourses and institutions in society and together they constitute a chain of power. In his analysis Foucault examines why we declare ourselves as oppressed and what consequences that generates. This essay relies heavily on an inquiry of these consequences and its discourses. The theories of Foucault are applied to Phaedra’s Love and explain the scenarios in which the social discourses of power collide and how they try to affect the characters and their desire. Together they make clear, that desire, in the play, is not primarily related to sex and sexuality. It is rather a desire; the object of which is the state of self-governed individuality. A need for an individual space in the discourses of talk. The main characters, Phaedra and Hippolytus, changed attitude concerning talk and silence result in a powerful social reaction. They both riot against a structure which maintains the standard discourses of power and knowledge. The riot is to be read as the final outcome of the society that surrounds them. The social reaction that comes with this exposes that the controlling discourses of power ultimately are based upon, not talk, but violence. Several other aspects are of importance for the analysis and its conclusions even though they are not pointed out in this abstract. The play Phaedra’s Love and Foucault’s theories both operate on numerous levels at the same time, and as a whole, they both present experiences they wish the spectator/reader will reflect upon. / Uppsatsen ger en ingång till den brittiska dramatikern Sarah Kanes intentioner som pjäsförfattare. Hon kommer själv till tals via citat knutna till sin produktion och genom påvisade beröringspunkter med den surrealistiska poeten och skådespelaren Antonin Artaud. Tyngdpunkten ligger på Kanes andra pjäs; Phaedra’s Love, uruppförd 1996. Med stöd i Michel Foucaults Viljan att veta band 1 ur trilogin Sexualitetens historia undersöks det hur samhällets strukturer kontrollerar och verkar tillsammans med och i kollision med begäret i pjäsen. Michel Foucault driver i Viljan att veta tesen att det finns ett särskilt tal om könet och sexualiteten, ett tal som hävdar att dessa är förtryckta. Foucault menar att ett sådant tal utgår från flera olika diskurser och institutioner i samhället och att de tillsammans utgör en maktens relation. Foucault undersöker i sin analys varför vi påstår oss vara förtryckta och vad det får för konsekvenser. Analysen av pjäsen fördjupar sig i dessa konsekvenser och dess diskurser under rubrikerna: ”Familj och monarki”, ”Tal och tystnad”, ”Begär”, ”Motstånd”, ”Bekännelse”, ”Samhälle” och ”Våld”. I varje avsnitt appliceras Foucaults teorier på Phaedra’s Love och förklarar det scenario som uppstår då samhällets maktstrukturer kolliderar med och försöker påverka rollfigurernas begär. Genom analysen av pjäsen visar sig begäret inte primärt vara sexuellt relaterat utan rör istället begäret att agera som självständigt subjekt. Behovet av att ta subjektiv plats i talet och dess diskurser. Rollfigurernas förändring i förhållningssätt till talet och tystnaden och deras agerande därefter utlöser en kraftig reaktion från samhällets sida. Huvudrollerna Phaedra och Hippolytus gör uppror mot de strukturer som bibehåller makten och vetandets diskurser intakta. Deras agerande kan läsas som en reaktion provocerad ur det samhälle som omger dem. Samhällets reaktion mot detta visar, i sin tur, på att maktens kontrollerande diskurser ytterst inte ligger i talet utan i våldet. Flera andra aspekter är av betydelse för analysen och dess slutsatser även om de inte poängteras här i sammanfattningen. Kanes pjäs rör sig liksom Foucaults teorier parallellt på flera genomgripande nivåer. Som helhet presenterar dock de båda en erfarenhet med en förhoppning om att åskådaren/läsarens ska ta tillvara densamma.

The aim of this essay is to analyze how students are constituted as subjects in local curricula. The theoretical perspective is grounded in Michel Foucault’s notion of governmentality and power/knowledge and his critique of a sovereign subject. From this theoretical perspective I use Foucault’s concept of formation of objects and Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s idea of subject positioning as tools for a discourse analysis. The analyzed documents are local curricula from fourteen Swedish municipalities. The documents are divided in to two equally sized groups based on the political governing in the municipality. The analysis presents five themes by which statements that constitute students as subjects can be categorized. These five themes are; lifelong learning, desire, essential traits, students responsibility and life and health. The differences between local curricula from political right wing and political left wing governed municipalities are rather small, but there can be seen differences in the technologies of liberal governing. The subject that is constituted in local curricula is primarily a self-governing subject who governs it self in relation to a expertise knowledge.

The aim of this essay has been to show how the object America is constructed in two of the most used history books in Swedish high school. The theoretical framework used in this paper is based on the post-structural discourse analysis as presented by Michel Foucault. More specifically can be said that Foucault´s theories about formation of objects have been used as a tool to show how the image of America is constructed in the books. Later this paper also discuses which subject positioning the studied books take, also this inspired by Foucault´s theories. The study is presented with long quotes from the studied material to reach a transparency that enables the reader to see which dictums the conclusions are based on. This also makes it easy for the reader to judge whether or not the conclusions are reasonable. Two central themes has been located and focused on: 1) The arrival of the Europeans and their conquest of America and 2) the emancipation from Europe. With its focus on America this essay has been able to reveal that America gets its meaning through the Europeans which due to the theoretical framework means that America doesn´t exist without being contrasted with the European civilization. The essay has also shown that the linguistic category “America” embodies different significance in different parts of the books. At first America is generally described as a continent without history that gets invaded by Europeans and the linguistic category refers to current Latin America. This changes however and later the linguistic category “America” refers to the current United States and gets associated with terms such as freedom.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the female experience as it is spoken of in the novel Sindhia written by Rut Hillarp (1954) and how the main character in the book violates the experience from a queer perspective. My aim is to through a close reading highlight a number of discourses that underpin the book's imminent theme of love and submission. According to Norman Faircloughs critical-discourse analysis, the text one reads produces a certain amount of discourses that one consumes. This way there is a dialectical interaction that can be set into a practical analysis together with a suitable academic perspective. This is the method I use in this thesis.The academic perspective I add isJudith Butler's queer theoriessupported by Michel Foucaults social genealogyin order to understand/analyze the woman’s position in relation to a social empirical history. I came to the conclusion that Sindhia produces the woman's discourse from an ancient biblical/ mythological time up to modern time. It brings forth untold perspectives that disclose the social hierarchies and women's rebellion against them, a rebellion that has been silenced. The text simply transcends the myths and highlights what has been made invisible, it brings new perspectives to the discourse about women. This shows that the ancient stories that have submissioned the position of women also carry subversive possibilities.

The Rights of Creativity is a study of Swedish copyright history from the birth of Sweden’s first copyright legislation in the early 19th century to the passing of the current law in 1960. As the title suggests, the law is regarded as part of a wider cultural context and the dissertation moves beyond the borders of legal history and analyses the law in relation to the history of literature, film, television and other media that partly reflect and partly intersect with the legislative process. The main object of the study is to see how the author is constructed in legal and cultural discourses during the 19th and 20th century. The dissertation focuses on three Swedish copyright laws from 1877, 1919 and 1960, but these laws and their preambles are also related to a few contemporary cultural intertexts, namely: August Strindberg’s novel Röda rummet [The Red Room] from 1879; the director Mauritz Stiller’s films Gunnar Hedes Saga [The Blizzard] and Gösta Berlings saga [The Saga of Gösta Berling] from 1923 and 1924, and finally the television shows Hylands hörna and Skäggen from 1962 and 1963. Apart from this it also pays some attention to the Freedom of the Press Act from 1810 that came to include Sweden’s first copyright statement, as well as to the development after 1960. Eventually it aims to show how the historical legacy has affected the copyright legislation and debates of today. / Skapandets rätt handlar om hur den juridiska synen på upphovsmannen rätt och skapandets villkor har förändrats i förhållande till den kulturella utvecklingen i Sverige under 1800 och 1900-talet. Avhandlingen består av en kronologisk studie av de upphovsrättslagar som antogs 1877, 1919 och 1960, men den behandlar också 1810 års tryckfrihetsförordning och de senaste årens rättsutveckling i korthet. Denna upphovsrättshistoriska exposé placeras in i ett litteratur- och mediehistoriskt sammanhang och lagtexterna underkastas en intertextuell analys där deras relation till några olika kulturella intertexter analyseras. Inledningsvis diskuteras hur 1810 års Tryckfrihetsförordning kom att innefatta Sveriges första upphovsrättsbestämmelse. Därefter kontrasteras Sveriges första separata upphovsrättslag från 1877 mot August Strindbergs genombrottsroman Röda rummet, allt i ljuset av Jürgen Habermas teori om den borgerliga offentligheten. 1919 års lagstiftning relateras sedan till Mauritz Stiller filmatiseringar av Selma Lagerlöfs romaner En herrgårdssägen och Gösta Berlings saga. Instiftandet av dagens upphovsrättslag från 1960 analyseras slutligen mot bakgrund av den nya tidens TV-medium som här exemplifieras av Hylands hörna och Skäggen. Avslutningsvis knyts allt samman i en kapitel där historiens lärdomar appliceras på dagens debatt. Här diskuteras hur tre föreställda oppositioner mellan konstnär-publik, privat-offentligt och original-kopia har format upphovsrättens historia och hur de fortfarande färgar samtidens upphovsrättsdiskussioner.

George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, first published in 1949, is a vision of socialism gone wrong. The setting of Oceania is a world ruled over by an oligarchical collective, “The Party,” which wields absolute power through a formidable combination of surveillance technology and the operation of the principles of “panoptic control,” a concept drawn from Jeremy Bentham’s model prison design of the late 1700s and revived by Foucault in the mid 1970s. The combination of surveillance technology and panoptic control is central to the functioning of power in Orwell’s novel, a union which has created a self-sustaining form of totalitarianism dependent on the oppression of individual identity for its automatic perpetuation. This essay offers a reading of Nineteen Eighty-Four as an implicit critique of Bentham’s Panopticon which in many ways foreshadowed the later work of Michel Foucault on the functioning of power within this specific type of physical and social architecture. / George Orwells roman 1984, vilken publicerades första gången 1949, är en framtidsvision om socialism som gått fel. Romanen utspelas i Oceania, en värld som styrs av ett oligarkiskt kollektiv, “Partiet,” vilket utövar absolut makt genom en utstuderad kombination av övervakningsteknik och teorin om “panoptisk” kontroll, ett begrepp sprunget ur av Jeremy Benthams fängelsemodell från sent 1700-tal, vilket återskapades av Michel Foucault i mitten av 1970-talet. Kombinationen av övervakningsteknologi och panopticism har i Oceanien skapat en totalitarianism som fungerar med automatik och förtrycker individuell identitet för att befästa statens makt. Denna uppsats närmar sig Orwells 1984 som en underförstådd kritik av Benthams arbete. Vidare identifier i romanen 1984 många av Foucault’s idéer om hur makt fungerar i en panoptisk struktur.

Au début des années soixante, le thème de la folie fait simultanément irruption dans les sciences sociales et dans la littérature. Les modalités discursives, les enjeux philosophiques et sociaux divergent autour de la question antipsychiatrique. Étude de littérature comparée, l'analyse d'un corpus de neuf romans écrits par des écrivains français (Marguerite Duras, Roland Topor), américains (Ken Kesey, Sylvia Plath), anglais (Jennifer Dawson), dominicain (Jean Rhys), néozélandais (Janet Frame), marocain (Tahar Ben Jelloun) et portugais (Antonio Lobo Antunès) permet une appréhension large et contextualisée des formes que revêt l'antipsychiatrie dans l'écriture romanesque. Ainsi, Faces in the Water de Janet Frame et The Ha-Ha de Jennifer Dawson (1961), One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest de Ken Kesey (1962), The Bell Jar de Sylvia Plath (1963), Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein de Marguerite Duras et Le Locataire chimérique de Roland Topor (1964), Wide Sargasso Sea de Jean Rhys (1966), Moha le fou, Moha le sage de Tahar Ben Jelloun (1978) et Conhecimento do Inferno d’Antonio Lobo Antunes (1980) sont analysés à la lumière des recherches psychiatriques (Szasz, Cooper, Laing...), sociologiques (Goffmann, Anderson...) et philosophiques (Foucault, Derrida, Baudrillard...) de l'époque pour tracer les contours de ce que ce temps précis nomme "folie". Obsessions particulières et motifs traditionnels de la folie convergent au sein de ces œuvres en une poétique de la fugue, plus encore, en une esthétique de la fuite. / In the early sixties, the theme of madness suddenly became a prominent subject in both social sciences and litterature. Whether as discursive pratice or philosophical and social issue, there was considerable divergence in and around the anti-psychiatric mouvement. A comparative study of a body of litterature composed of nine novels by French, American, English, Dominican, New-zealander, Moroccan and Portughese writers allows a broad and contextualized comprehension of the various treatements of anti-psychiatry in contemporary litterature. Thus, Faces in the Water by Janet Frame and The Ha-Ha by Jennifer Dawson (1961), One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey (1962), The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (1963), Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein by Marguerite Duras and Le Locataire chimérique by Roland Topor (1964), Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (1966), Moha le fou, Moha le sage by Tahar Ben Jelloun (1978) and Conhecimento do Inferno by Antonio Lobo Antunes (1980) are analized from the point of view of psychiatry researches (Szasz, Cooper, Laing...) sociological (Goffmann, Anderson...) and philosophical reflection (Foucault, Derrida, Baudrillard...) in order to trace the outline of what that historical moment called 'madness'. Punctual obsessions and traditional definitions converge in these works to create a poetic of runaway, moreover, an aesthetics of escape.

La pratique de la parole de soi et de la vie, dans l’ordre publique ou privé, ne sont pas une exclusivité de notre contemporanéité. Cette pratique du langage est présente à travers de l’histoire qui peut remettre au berceau de la civilité occidentale. À partir des longues paroles travaillées minutieusement dans l’art rhétorique jusqu’aux déclarations sur l’internet, un lieu de tension où l’espace publique et l’espace privé se mélanges. De cette façon, on choisit comme corpus de recherche deux vidéos produits par deux chaînes brésiliennes de l’YouTube, une chaîne produite par Kéfera Buchmann et l’autre chaîne produite par Felipe Neto. Ces sujets se placent en face des caméras pour montrer leurs habilités de performance, rhétoriques et, surtout, pour devenir leurs vies plus esthétiques quand ils racontent les faits du quotidien quand ils parlent “intimement” leurs souvenirs, quand ils donnent leurs opinions sur les thèmes divers, principalement les thèmes liés à eux-mêmes. Ainsi, on part de l’Analyse du Discours française, plus spécifiquement celle basée sur les réflexions de Michel Foucault et les autres auteurs, on prétend observer le sujet en train de parler, pour comprendre comment les sujets peuvent construire les subjectivités en utilisant les pratiques énonciatives de soi sur l’internet. Donc, nous essaierons observer comment les pratiques énonciatives (de soi) et ses éléments constitutifs peuvent être observés par l’Analyse du Discours avec Michel Foucault à partir des matérialités des énoncés analysés méthodologiquement par l’Analyse du Discours françaises et par les instruments de la Linguistique de l’Énonciation et les Théories des Médias. On conclut que les sujets sont divisés par la multiplication des effets de vérité dans les médias numériques. / Pode-se afirmar que a prática de fala é um elemento da linguagem que sempre esteve presente dentro das problematizações do homem na sociedade, especialmente quando esta fala se trata sobre nós mesmos, A prática da fala de si e da vida, de ordem pública ou privada, não é uma exclusividade de nossa contemporaneidade. Essa prática de linguagem está presente ao longo da história e remonta, inclusive, ao convencionado berço de nossa civilização ocidental. Desde as longas falas pautadas em um trabalho minucioso da arte retórica às declarações na internet, fazendo com que este ambiente seja tensionado pela mescla mútua do público e privado. Para tanto, toma-se como corpus de pesquisa dois vídeos produzidos por dois canais brasileiros do YouTube, um produzido por Kéfera Buchmann e outro por Felipe Neto. Esses sujeitos se colocam diante das câmeras para mostrarem suas habilidades performáticas, retóricas e, sobretudo, para estetizarem suas vidas ao narrar fatos de seu cotidiano, ao contar “intimamente” suas lembranças e ao dar suas opiniões sobre temas diversos, principalmente temas referentes a si mesmos. Dessa maneira, localizados na área que compreende a Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, mais especificamente a se baseia nas reflexões de Michel Foucault e outros autores, pretende-se lançar um olhar discursivo atravessado sobre o sujeito falando com o intuito de compreender como os sujeitos podem construir subjetividades fazendo uso de práticas enunciativas de si nos meios digitais. Então, tentaremos observar como a prática enunciativa (de si) e seus elementos constitutivos podem ser observados sob a perspectiva discursiva com Michel Foucault a partir das materialidades dos enunciados analisados metodologicamente a partir da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa e das ferramentas oferecidas pela Linguística da Enunciação e Teorias das Mídias. Conclui-se que os sujeitos que se aluem pela multiplicação de efeitos de verdade nos meios digitais. / CNPq: 830821/1999-6 -

For my argumentation and analysis I take as a base a specific part of his thought: the problem of domination in modern societies in the genealogic texts in the decade of 1970. It s about to identify how Foucault does his analysis of the relations of domination and the use of the power with the objective to suggest and point out his contribution to sociological analysis of domination. I will discuss the foucaultian program of the study of domination from four units of analysis: person constitution, knowledge, power and truth. The structure and division of the chapters will follow the specific and detailed study of each of those units of analysis, prioritizing their theoretical sense and consequences to the sociology. Thus, in the first chapter, I will highlight a little more the relations of affinity and the convergences between Foucault and the sociology in a way to offer more elements to justify the general objectives that this work intends to achieve. In the second chapter, I will analyze the subject of domination in Foucault s thought, discussing his basic presuppositions and its intrinsic relation with the heart of the foucaultian philosophical project, the person constitution. In turn, in the third and fourth chapter, I will discuss the interdependence between knowledge and power as an essential and opaque dimension of the ways of modern domination. In the fifth chapter, I will analyze the relation between domination and the truth discourse production / Nesta disserta??o, nos propomos a realizar uma leitura do pensamento de Michel Foucault que privilegie, em sua obra e esquema te?rico, as rela??es e implica??es te?ricas, conceituais e tem?ticas com a sociologia. Tomaremos como base para nossa argumenta??o e an?lise, um recorte espec?fico em seu pensamento: o problema da domina??o nas sociedades modernas nos escritos geneal?gicos da d?cada de 1970. Trata-se de identificar e examinar como Foucault constr?i suas an?lises das rela??es de sujei??o e exerc?cio do poder com a finalidade de sugerir e sublinhar as suas contribui??es para a an?lise sociol?gica da domina??o. Exploraremos o programa de investiga??o da domina??o foucaultiano a partir de quatro unidades de an?lise: constitui??o do sujeito, saber, poder e verdade. A estrutura e divis?o dos cap?tulos seguir? o tratamento espec?fico e detalhado de cada uma dessas unidades de an?lise, priorizando os seus nexos te?ricos e implica??es para a sociologia. Com isso, a domina??o, no pensamento de Foucault, ? definida nos termos das principais pressuposi??es te?rico-metodol?gicas da anal?tica do poder, da rela??o intr?nseca com o cerne do projeto filos?fico foucaultiano - a constitui??o do sujeito -, da interdepend?ncia entre saber e poder enquanto dimens?o essencial e opaca das formas de domina??o moderna e, por ?ltimo, do v?nculo entre domina??o e produ??o de discursos de verdade
