The question of resistance has been a long-debated topic in the study of
Foucault’s work. The interesting thing about this debate is that various authors
came do differing conclusions, some point out that Foucault’s understanding of
power leaves no space agency while others claim that his entire work can be
seen as a study of possibilities for resistance. Even though this debate started in
Foucault’s own lifetime it is still on going and contemporary scholarship has
started dealing with new problems concerning his notions of resistance. Some of
those problems are the relations between collective and individual acts of
resistance and the relation between critical scholarship and political resistance.
Our aim is to contribute to this debate by reinterpreting Foucault’s understanding of resistance through Deleuze’s reading of Foucault and through Deleuze’s
concepts like the “war machine”, “nomadism” and others. In the first part of our
presentation, we will use Deleuze’s readin...g of Foucault to reconstruct his notion
of resistance and how it relates to other important concepts in his work, like
power and the subject. In the second part we will move on to Foucault’s
understanding of critique and the problem of its relation to resistance. While
specifically relying on Daniele Lorenzini’s reading of this problem we will point
out that Foucault’s research into various institutions of modernity (like the
prison, the hospital, or the asylum) can be seen as a study of possible “lines of
flight” or possibilities for resistance to technologies of government that are
active within them. We will conclude by pointing out that Foucault’s
understanding of critical scholarship can best be understood as an attempt to
connect various subjects of resistance into a rhizomatic movement or a war
machine whose structure mirrors that of the governmental dispositive.
