This is true, but I mostly know of the concept from Foucault's lectures in The Birth of Biopolitics (in particular the "atomization" aspect you mentioned), which I think is slightly different from those other definitions (which is also why I said "Foucault's").
- AndrewKemendo 8y agoIt's not so much different, as it's derivative and muddily so. Foucault had a tendency to re-define terms as he saw fit, irrespective of their historical use - as his philosophy would encourage - which is partly why the majority of his writing is so obtuse to other philosophers.
