    Another Politics of Life is Possible.Didier Fassin - 2009 - Theory, Culture and Society 26 (5):44-60.
    Although it is usually assumed that in Michel Foucault’s work biopolitics is a politics which has life for its object, a closer analysis of the courses he gave at the Collège de France on this topic, as well as of the other seminars and papers of this period, shows that he took a quite different direction, restricting it to the regulation of population. The aim of this article is to return to the origins of the concept and to confront the (...)

  3. The Trace: Violence, Truth, and the politics of the Body.Didier Fassin - 2011 - Social Research: An International Quarterly 78 (2):281-298.
    The state has a foundational relation with violence that is based on a social contract in which the state protects society from violence through law and law enforcement, and in exchange it is granted the monopoly of legitimate violence. The contract holds as long as individuals receive sufficient security from the state and are not overly subjected to abuse by it. When it is not respected, either because security is denied or abuse is gross, individuals may feel entitled to resist (...)

    Évaluer les vies essai d'anthropologie biopolitique.Didier Fassin - 2011 - Cahiers Internationaux de Sociologie n° 128-129 (1):105-115.
    Résumé La plupart des études, analyses et critiques portant sur l’évaluation s’attachent à la gouvernance des affaires humaines, autrement dit la part managériale et technocratique de la politique. En revanche, on s’est peu efforcé de comprendre le gouvernement des êtres humains, et singulièrement les dispositifs et procédures d’évaluation des vies. C’est à cette anthropologie biopolitique qu’est consacré le présent article. La distinction entre les dimensions morale et éthique de l’évaluation permet d’aborder successivement deux questions générales : comment on juge les (...)

    At the heart of the state: the moral world of institutions.Didier Fassin - 2015 - London: Pluto Press. Edited by Patrick Brown.
    The state is often regarded as an abstract and neutral bureaucratic entity. Against this common sense idea, At the Heart of the State argues that it is also a concrete and situated reality, embodied in the work of its agents and inscribed in the issues of its time. The result of a five-year investigation conducted by ten scholars, this book describes and analyses the police, the court system, the prison apparatus, the social services, and mental health facilities in France. Combining (...)

    Économies morales contemporaines.Didier Fassin & Jean-Sébastien Eideliman (eds.) - 2012 - Paris: Découverte.
    Les questions morales pénètrent nos représentations, nos pratiques, nos politiques. Qu'il s'agisse, dans le monde privé, d'interpréter les conduites des autres et de discipliner les siennes propres, ou bien, dans l'espace public, de sanctionner des déviances et de réguler des populations, nos sociétés mobilisent des normes, des valeurs et des affects, qu'illustrent notamment les tensions entre la raison humanitaire et l'ordre sécuritaire. Redonnant toute sa force critique au concept d'économies morales, les auteurs réunis ici par Didier Fassin et Jean-Sébastien Eideliman (...)

    Juger, réprimer, accompagner: essai sur la morale de l'État.Didier Fassin (ed.) - 2013 - Paris: Éditions du Seuil.
    L’État est le plus souvent représenté comme une entité abstraite et neutre. Or il est fondamentalement une réalité concrète et située, qui s’incarne dans le travail de ses agents. Ceux-ci ne se contentent pas d’appliquer des directives et des procédures ; les jugements qu’ils formulent et les émotions qu’ils ressentent sont partie prenante de leurs décisions, dont la somme constitue l’action publique. Autrement dit, l’État est également une entité morale. C’est ce que montre cet ouvrage qui, au fil d’une enquête (...)

    Les constructions de l'intolérable: etudes d'anthropologie et d'histoire sur les frontières de l'espace moral.Didier Fassin, Patrice Bourdelais & Jean-Pierre Dozon (eds.) - 2005 - Paris: Découverte.
    Torture, abus sexuels, traite des personnes, esclavage, crimes de guerre, génocides : les figures de l'intolérable se sont multipliées depuis deux siècles, jusqu'à saturer l'espace public contemporain de faits socialement réprouvés et juridiquement sanctionnés. Ce que l'on affirme ainsi injustifiable est vu généralement comme un mal radical, voire absolu, comme le franchissement d'une limite. Pourtant, le regard vers un passé encore proche nous apprend qu'il s'agit toujours d'une limite historiquement constituée, donc frappée de relativité temporelle, et toutes ces transgressions n'ont (...)

    The social sciences in the looking glass: studies in the production of knowledge.Didier Fassin & George Steinmetz (eds.) - 2023 - Durham: Duke University Press.
    In recent years, social scientists have turned their critical lens on the historical roots and contours of their disciplines, including their politics and practices, epistemologies and methods, institutionalization and professionalization, national development and colonial expansion, globalization and local contestations, and their public presence and role in society. The Social Sciences in the Looking Glass offers current social scientific perspectives on this reflexive moment in the social sciences. Examining sociology, anthropology, philosophy, political science, legal theory, and religious studies, the volume's contributors (...)
