| Summary / Abstract (Note) | I welcome the opportunity to be inspired and challenged by Manfred Steger's scholarship on ideology at the time of a rising global imaginary. My initial (and appreciative) response in this introduction is drawn from Gilles Deleuze's response to Michel Foucault's masterwork, Discipline and Punish, where he calls Foucault 'a new cartographer'. Drawing on his notion of the diagram, Deleuze suggests that Foucault has altered the topology within which power has traditionally been understood. To understand power, we can no longer 'accept a limited localization'.1 Rather, Foucault maps 'the concrete assemblages of school, workshops, army, etc.' along with 'finalized functions' that carry 'on right up to the state, which strives for global integration, at least in the form of a universalized Market place'. |
