About the Beginning of the Hermeneutics of the Self: Two Lectures at Dartmouth
Abstract
Texte integral des deux conferences donnees par M. Foucault au College de Dartmouth en 1980 sous les titres de « Subjectivity and Truth » et « Christianity and Confession ». Elles marquent une transition de l'etude des systemes de relations de pouvoir vers l'etude de la creation de l'agent ethique et font allusion aux themes qui apparaitront plus tard dans les volumes 2 et 3 de l'« Histoire de la sexualite »

“governing people is not a way to force people to do what the governor wants; it is always a versatile equilibrium, with complementarity and conflicts between techniques which impose coercion and processes through which the self is constructed or modified by himself (Foucault 1993, 203-204).”

“Having distanced themselves from the Protestant regime of truth, the interviewees restructured their relationship with God in various ways, commonly granting themselves the final authority to interpret and govern their own existence rather than attributing it to the divine.”

“While Foucault discussed the theme of confession in many of his works (1993, 1995, 2000, 2003b, 2014), I will limit my analysis to two forms of confession: exomologesis and exagoreusis .”

““We have to sacrifice the self in order to discover the truth about oursel[ves],” Foucault writes, “you will become the subject of the manifestation of truth when and only when you disappear or you destroy yourself as a real body or as a real existence” (Foucault 1993, 221).”

“Replacing one knowledge with another is not just a matter of stuffing the heads of existing people with new ideas, but of creating new people, which is why Foucault (1993) wrote that ‘‘the history of knowledge constitutes a privileged point of view for the genealogy of the subject” (p. 223).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
