Ruptures and continuities in the Brownian recovery of Foucault’s research on neoliberalism

The Michel Foucault’s courses given at the Collège de France, between 1977 and 1979, wield a lucid critic of the neoliberalism, but especially innovative for its time.

Los cursos de Michel Foucault dictados en el Collège de France, entre 1977 y 1979, esgrimen una crítica lúcida del neoliberalismo, pero por sobre todo, novedosa para su tiempo. Sin embargo, sus ideas no han estado exentas de controversias, que se suman además a la serie de innovaciones que los últimos cuarenta años de neoliberalismo han traído consigo, dejando desactualizados algunos aspectos de las investigaciones del autor. Por ello es que, asumiendo su legado incluso en contra de este, Wendy Brown ofrece una interesante revisión de los alcances y límites de los estudios gubernamentales, trazando una serie de continuidades y rupturas entre sus ideas y los cursos del autor. De esta manera, elaborando una original teoría del Homo Politicus desde un examen del Homo Economicus foucaultiano, esta pensadora revela los desastrosos efectos que el neoliberalismo desata sobre la soberanía democrática y sus imaginarios emancipatorios; una problemática, por cierto, muy desestimada por el autor. El presente artículo reconstruye en términos generales las distintas lecturas y críticas de rodean la obra del filósofo, explicitando luego la apreciación browniana al respecto, y sus estudios sobre las crisis democráticas en la era neoliberal.
