    Foucault, the Digital Humanities, the Method

    Author: Simon Ganahl (University of Vienna)

Abstract

Starting from a review of the book Foucault, digital published by Bernhard J. Dotzler and Henning Schmidgen in 2022, this article deals with the question of how Michel Foucault's theoretical and methodological concepts can be operationalized in digital humanities research. It takes a critical stance on the assumption that discourse analysis is a quantitative, "big data" method and makes the case for translating the concept of the dispositive into qualitative digital projects. Finally, the essay relates Foucault's late works on governmentality and self-care to post-phenomenology and interaction design, advocating theorization by building digital tools and platforms.

Michel FOUCAULTs work is theoretically grounded in French str

Abstract

Recent reflections on governmentality studies which are based on Michel FOUCAULT, ascertain new forms of subjectivation within the frame of new (neoliberal) rationalities of government. Following FOUCAULT, these forms of subjectivation are seen as effects of discursive practices. However, there is no way yet on adequate methods for grasping discursive effects. For closing this gap and finding adequate methods to study discursive effects, the subject positions, I will suggest a methodical link between discourse-analysis and biography-analysis. Linking th
