Can someone please help me on a essay I am writing, In my essay I have been tasked with analysing an organisation operations from a postmodernist perspective using a theme of power as context, I have talked a lot about the repressive power (as mentioned in the essay)so managers exploiting workers, but not so much the normalizing power. What would be an example of this from an organisations point of view?
Victor we love you. It's funny, when I was an undergrad I was obliged to follow this guy's course, and it got lost completely on 19 year old me. Now, years later, I come back here out of free will and I can appreciate much more of what Foucault was trying to get at. These videos are very helpful.
Actually, most things we can find online about Foucault are rather superficial. You did a great job explaining Foucault's views about how power works through many examples you gave. Thanks for that, it's much appreciated.
Thank you Victor. Curently going over Foucault in law school. You explain this philosophy so much better than our textbook and our lecturer combined. Great delivery.
Foucault is difficult, but not that difficult. Especially the book on which the video was based, Discipline and Punish, is not that difficult. If you insist you even couldn't understand this book, I suggest you test your IQ.
@@xxx6555 - IQ test does not produce nor indicate subjective truth, but rather it is just another category of discursive/normalizing power. It is a reduction of all possible questions we can ask about intelligence into a specific and narrow discourse that is shaped and dominated by a particular Episteme.
Thank you for the lecture, so much easier to undertand than the uni lecture I have attended. It makes me think about what's happening now with the pandemic. Back in March 2020, the normalizing power was in place and people were compliant with the lockdown and caring so much about themselves and others. However, with the goverments mix messages, and as a result loss of trust, created a need for repressive power with the scaremongering and discussions about mandating medical treatments (i.e. vaccination).
Watching your video from India🇮🇳. Precise and to the point explanation. Watched others' video too on Foucault, but after watching your video I realized that those videos were like beating around the bush.
Thanks for enlightening me about the most profound powerful perspectives of greatest lord of philosophy in human history of thought forms that transformed whole world.
Thank you sir!! I was looking for a video to help me explain Foucault, and until now, have only found misinformation about Foucault’s theories. Not only was this not the case with your video, you also explained it in the most useful, clear and concise terms that very few professors could.
The best you tube teacher i hve ever came across.this is the way a youtube teacher shld deliver a speech ..lucidly and articulately..thank you sir... Kindly make more video on sociology 😍🤗😘
This has really helped me in my Critical Understanding of Power within Communities as part of my 2nd year BACD undergraduate course at UofG. Thank you 😊
When he says “nobody’s free”, I think the more correct approach would be “no one is completely free”. There’s a lot of taboos we can break and still keep our jobs or stay out of jail despite doing so. And we all hold some power over other people, even if we don’t realize it.
He describes power of two levels: Empirical and theoretical. Empirical comprises three types: sovereign, disciplinary and bio power. In theoretical power, he illustrates the features, characteristics of power and its operation. Force relation is spread throughout the society and can only be seen in interplay.
Thanks for this video! I was trying to find a third theorist for my essay on power and you have made up my mind. His view on power is very unique, yet its use almost seems common sense once you are aware of it.
Really a clearcut idea about Michiel Foucault: Knowledge and power. Repressive power and normalizing power. he focuses on normalizing power instead of repressive power.
I hardly like philosophy videos but I just had to like yours... I came here because i have exams today on this complex topic but you made it look too easy and interesting... I'm almost forgetting that I'm studying this for exam, its too interesting 😂😂😂...
Reminds me of the difference Hanna Arendt makes between violence and power. Where violence would map to repressive power and power maps to normative power.
Brilliant. Thank you so much. Was dying under the complexity of Foucault's discourse. I would just suggest that you substitute 'science' for 'knowledge' in the last part of the video. This is because knowledge can apply to a broader field of human concerns which is why Foucault specifically uses this term.
You mean substituting 'knowledge' for 'science', right? I agree that that would be completely correct. I chose to talk about science here because the video is part of a course on the philosophy of the human sciences; if it had been a stand-alone video about Foucault, I would probably have used the broader term.
I completely understand. So you were applying Foucault's theory to a very specific set of discourses. Going to recommend your video to the students in my course and tutorial group!!
+Pieter Naude a bon. are you teaching at UCT my alma mater? i woild love to have a digital, techno mediated coffee with you would you like google chat? my email is writinghealth @gmail.com
I found the terms normalising and repressive power in the video confusing as in his book discipline and punish he used a different term. This lecture was great in understanding basic concepts but it was hard when I went back to Foucault's book used the term sovereign and discipline power instead.
Normalized power is balanced power. Makes people freer and more productive knowing that threats are minimal ,and acting on their own behalf benefits everyone is society.
We build the Family, the Hierarchies, the Systems of Knowledge, those are not created by Society, Society merely has the role to reinforce some of them.
Today i got mad cuz my mom was backseat driving again, but then i realized "why should i act up? I'm the one driving the car. I'm the one with the power. I can't act like someone who's about to lose it." Now i'm wondering if this video, which i saw months ago, played a role in that.
Good job, you are a great communicator. I must challenge Foucault's views on power though. All human power over other humans is repressive, whether normalizing or not. We do not demand that the cashier at the grocery attend to us at check out and we do not threaten her, but there is always the implied threat that if dissatisfied we could get her in trouble or fired. I say human power is a threat, whether explicit or implicit.
I learned more from a 9 minute video than a 3 hour class. Thanks Jesus!
Random Viewer 😂😂😂😂
Jesus Christ sounds very smart!!
😂
same here
The Lord is good.
God bless your soul. This is so easy to understand. It’s 3 AM and I’m able to clearly understand despite being tired
So basically Foucault is advocating soft power with the guiles of feminine charm if I truly understand this correctly
@@getsmartquick Correct
I am pleasantly surprised by how succinct and high quality this video is.
I scored an A in my Philosophy course thanks to you. There are many philosophy channels but you are the best

You will be back again, trust me.

This is one of the clearest videos on philosophy I've ever watched.
Thank you Victor. Curently going over Foucault in law school. You explain this philosophy so much better than our textbook and our lecturer combined. Great delivery.
In what context?
This just rescued my whole paper...thank you.
This was the best video of Foucault I saw in the last few days
I share this video every time in class pretty much every semester.
this scholar was seriously headache for me! but you ,, have made things very simple ... thank u so much dude......
foucault is a headache and insult for every intelligent person. that happens :)

Thanks man. You're better than an entire semester of classes
OMG this playlist is just like a treasure. THANK YOU SO MUCH

i've been searching, reading and try to understand this since yesterday. Finally! thank god i find this vids
Reminds me of Sartre... "the self is the self to others. Without others there is no self."
Where did you find that quote?
Watching your video from India🇮🇳. Precise and to the point explanation. Watched others' video too on Foucault, but after watching your video I realized that those videos were like beating around the bush.
wow my dude - trying to get this a digestable way for students - this hit the spot
I have listened to many talks but you explains simply. Thanks

A very simple yet clear explanation.
I never thought understanding Foucault is so easy. Thanks for the 9-minute video.
Wow! This is truly wonderful!
Very nicely and simply explained. I saw many videos related to this but they only used heavy words and made me even more confused than I already was.
This has really helped me in my Critical Understanding of Power within Communities as part of my 2nd year BACD undergraduate course at UofG. Thank you 😊
Wonderfully explained! Huge thanks and lots of best wishes, Dear!!
I have learnt so much for my political sociology exam. Thanks a lot guys :)
Wait this man didn't only teach me Kant but now also Foucault?! What a Hero
Excellent explanation and delivery!
the lecture is amazing and inspiring so much! thanks a lot!
Great class, looking forward to more.
Thanks a lot!! You really simplified Foucault for me!
I somehow understood White's metahistory and Foucault's theory of power courtesy your lectures!
The most useful vid to understand foucault, danku wel meneer !
This is GOLD!!! Thank you so much
Praise the Lord... this was good...
Great stuff. I'm thinking about studying at Leiden after watching so many of these videos.
When he says “nobody’s free”, I think the more correct approach would be “no one is completely free”. There’s a lot of taboos we can break and still keep our jobs or stay out of jail despite doing so.
And we all hold some power over other people, even if we don’t realize it.
Watching this video after a tiresome day, lying on my bed. Believe me, I'm refreshed
Amazing explanation! kudos to the teacher 🤗
Very simply and nicely explained! thanks, It's finally clear to me
Thanks. This is very concise and succinct.
This guy is pretty good at delivering a lecture!
This was excellent- thank you for taking the time to put it together ❤
He describes power of two levels: Empirical and theoretical. Empirical comprises three types: sovereign, disciplinary and bio power. In theoretical power, he illustrates the features, characteristics of power and its operation. Force relation is spread throughout the society and can only be seen in interplay.
I can't thank you more , you made it perfectly easy . I couldn't make a head nor a tail out of it before this video
Wow. Thank you for this illumination.
Beautiful video! I really understood this concept
Wow... muito bom. Top das galáxias. Agora vai!
Thanks for this video! I was trying to find a third theorist for my essay on power and you have made up my mind. His view on power is very unique, yet its use almost seems common sense once you are aware of it.
If I may ask, who were the other two?
wonderful time understanding Foucault.. 👍

Mind blowing Sir. More such.
"Normalized Power" is just another way of describing hegemony.

Naude, are you in South Africa or Namibia? Your last name is Afrikaans, unless it is also Dutch.
Haha yes I am indeed South African and I am fluent in Afrikaans. However, Naude is a surname of French Huguenot descent.

Thank u so much ...for this amazing video ❤️...great explanation
Foucoult made simple.
I think I'll at least be able to swim through the exam rather than drown altogether
very easy to listen to. love it

Is discipline the same as repressive power im guessing?
@@ianmcdermott5215 no
Thank you very much for this series. It is really helpful.
Thanks for your explainations, it helps me a lot. But i want to ask which Foucault's book discusses about normalizing and repressive power.
Thanks
Thank you for this! Great work 👍🏻
Thank you! It helps for my exam.
honestly i was scrunching my head so much about this. Thanks
Thank you. great explanations. clear and well spoken. well done.
very nice insight! a big thank to you
Love, gratitude and regards from India 🇮🇳❤️
Normalized power is balanced power. Makes people freer and more productive knowing that threats are minimal ,and acting on their own behalf benefits everyone is society.
So:
* Orwell's "1984" = repressive power,
* Huxley's "Brave New World" = normalizing power.
Best on Contents and personality both!
Can consider exemplifying even more.
really good work and thanks for it ...
The thought that my entire ego is basically a creation of society is quite a terrifying thought.
We build the Family, the Hierarchies, the Systems of Knowledge, those are not created by Society, Society merely has the role to reinforce some of them.

THANK YOU JESUS
very nicely explained !
This video is amazing!!!!!
Why our academic scholar write so nice like this guy explains love to hear from you
It is really very helpful. Thank you so much.
Can you suggests me a book regarding this, about normalizing power ?
amazingly said
(Voorbereiding op Wetenschapsfilosofie op de UL volgend semester 😅) Klasse uitlegvideo's!
great to be aware of this but what options do we have not to be normalised if we want to live in and amongst people?
That is great lecture,thank you so much!
Thank you so much Sir....
Sir please upload more videos
