Foucault’s work on power matters now more than ever in this era of #interregnum, polycrisis, concentration of political power, and erosion of democracy and civil rights.
"Power is all the more cunning because its basic forms can change in response to our efforts to free ourselves from its grip"

This article at Aeon unpacks Foucault's idea that unchecked power is everywhere, and that it is often cloaked by changing format, content, form, discourse, and thus can undermine liberatory struggles for democracy and equal rights. Güncelliğini koruyan Aeon dergisindeki bu yazı, Foucault’nun, muktedirin ve gücün içerik, format ve şekil değiştirerek (e.g. içeriden ve içererek) özgürlük mücadelelerini ve direnişleri etkisizleştirebileceği düşüncesini de hatırlatıyor. https://aeon.co/essays/why-foucaults-work-on-power-is-more-important-than-ever
