Tremain

For my argumentative claims in the chapter, and indeed throughout this book, rely upon Foucault’s understanding of power (force relations) as both intentional and nonsubjective. Power, Foucault explained, is calculated and always exercised with a series of aims and objectives. In this way, power is intentional. Nevertheless, usually no seat of power can be located nor can a group be identified as the holders of power, that is, be identified as the decision makers who direct and coordinate the complicated network of dispositifs (apparatuses) that circulate in society. In this way, power is nonsubjective.
