Pre-reading Notes
- Although I haven’t studied them properly, I feel like I have some understanding of concepts like Deconstruction and Structuralism as of May 2022.
- Ideas like Generalizable dichotomy, Explaining things simply, and Tendency to Think about High-level Things seem to be related to them (blu3mo).
- Assuming that’s the case, I want to learn about the concepts/discussions shared in that field.
- In addition, I feel like following the ideas of Post-Structuralism would help me catch up with contemporary thought.
- Currently, I don’t have a critical perspective on concepts like Generalizable dichotomy, Explaining things simply, and Tendency to Think about High-level Things, so I would be happy if the ideas of post-structuralism could help me develop that perspective.

Impressions
- Several senior students in my seminar recommended this book.
- I really like the concept of deconstruction, especially Derrida’s framework.
- It feels like a name has been given to something I vaguely liked about it.
- Through technology.
- However, there are also points where I don’t quite agree with the criticisms and ethics presented.
-
What I don’t understand is the confusion between “doubting the assumption that one side of a binary opposition is good” and “doubting the way the binary opposition itself is constructed.”
- Parole and écriture, I don’t understand.

- Deconstruction of society
- Through the panoptic mechanism, norms have been internalized from being mechanisms of punishment.
- Disciplinary training
- As a method of macro-level governance, there is biopolitics vs disciplinary training.
- Disciplinary training controls the ethics of human behavior by controlling their goals.
- Biopolitics controls human behavior mechanically by changing the structure.
- Deviance and madness were not labeled before modern times.
- When labels are applied, binary oppositions arise, and at the same time, an ethics of “one side is good” emerges.
- This ethics is introduced into society through disciplinary training and biopolitics for governance.
- Foucault questions whether the world where deviance, like in ancient times, was not considered “bad” is better.
- When labels are applied, binary oppositions arise, and at the same time, an ethics of “one side is good” emerges.
