- Double-weighted statement
- This is a 266 pages monograph (excluding the bibliography). It is the product of a research project that began in 2009. It consists of an in-depth analysis of the role of desire in liberal governmentality since the middle of the 18th century. As such, it is both a history of desire – especially in the form of economic desire, sexual desire, and the desire for social and symbolic recognition – and a history of liberalism as a technology of government for which desire is an instrument.
