Imagining Foucault. On the Digital Subject and "Visual Citizenship".
One of the most exciting features in Foucault's work is his analytics of power in terms of forms of visibility. It allows for a reflection on the conditions of seeing and thinking, thus triggering a seemingly paradoxical move: locating the limits of our perspectives entails simultaneously transgress...
