权力的谱系：从“麻风病模式”到“鼠疫模式” (From the Model of Leprosy to the Model of Plague: A Note on Foucault's Genealogy of Power)

Abstract

Chinese Abstract: 本文对福柯有关“麻风病模式”和“鼠疫模式”的论述进行了评析，认为尽管该两种控制模式一为排斥、一为容纳，却不构成对立的两极，而是代表着权力技术发展进程的两个阶段。与此进程相对应的是仪式化“剧场国家”向“反思性监控”无边陲国家的转变。正是得益于权力技术的发展，在权力对身体日益精细的分区控制中，国家得以介入社会并将社会改造成为一个治理空间。

English Abstract: This brief comment, published in Chinese in a journal typically read by academic intellectuals, responds to the debate provoked by what Michel Foucault called the two major models for the control of individuals: that of exclusion of lepers and that of inclusion of plague victims. It argues that the exclusion and inclusion are not diametrically opposed modes of control, but represent the different stages of development of the technology of power. What corresponds to the transformation to the model of plague was the rise of the absolutist state. By means of the increasing sophisticated spatial partitioning and body control, the state penetrated into society and transformed society into a governance space of the state.
