傅柯所論「治理性」(governmentality)包含「權力技術」(technologies of power)與「自我技術」(technologies of the self)兩個方面,本課程將聚焦於後者。與權力技術作用於主體時的支配模式不同——這種支配造成了奴役狀態,自我技術(就其最積極的意義上說)則是主體以某種方式來改變並塑造自身的行動。這種行動既是倫理的,也是美學的,它使主體成為他所意願成為的樣子,因此也是一種自由的實踐。
本課程將分為四個單元,對晚期傅柯的文獻進行導讀:自我技術、快感倫理學、友誼與同性愛、啟蒙與自由。首先,藉由相關文本,概述傅柯的自我技術並揭示其背後的理論關懷。接著進入傅柯所分析的具體案例:希臘人對於快感(aphrodisia)的倫理反思;同性愛向友誼(philia)的轉化。此處的重點不在重述傅柯對於歷史的分析,而是這種分析之於當代的批判性和啟發性。最後,接續先前的討論,以傅柯對啟蒙與自由的思考作為總結。
課程中,我們鼓勵同學對當代文化保持敏銳的覺察,並對自己的生活賦予不同的想像,在回應傅柯的理論同時,把所學變成某種可能的自我實踐。The "governmentality" discussed by Fu Ke includes two aspects: "technology of power" and "technology of self", and this course will focus on the latter. Unlike the dominance modes of power technology that act on the subject at the time—this domination creates a state of slavery, self-technology (in its most aggressive meaning) is the action of the subject to change and shape itself in a certain way. This action is both ethical and aesthetic, which makes the subject what he wants to be, and therefore is a free act.
This course will be divided into four units to guide Fu Ke's literature in the late period: self-technology, pleasure ethics, friendship and homosexual love, inspiration and freedom. First, through the relevant text, Fu Ke's self-technology is outlined and the theoretical concerns behind it are revealed. Then we enter the specific cases analyzed by Fu Ke: Greeks' ethical reflection on pleasure (aphrodisia); the transformation of homosexual love to friendship (philia). The focus here is not on restating Fu Ke's analysis of history, but on the criticality and initiation of contemporary times. Finally, the previous discussion was concluded with Fu Ke's thinking on inspiration and freedom.
During the course, we encouraged our classmates to maintain a sensitive perception of contemporary culture and give different imaginations about our lives. In response to Fu Ke's theory, we transform what we learned into a possible self-realization.
