o At the theoretical level: consolidation of knowledge pertaining to the writings of M. Foucault on criminology and security (position in the work; epistemological, theoretical, methodological, ethical stakes); consolidation of knowledge pertaining to those Foucauldian concepts which are fundamental for criminology and security studies.
o At the methodological level: consolidation of knowledge pertaining to the Foucauldian "toolbox"; familiarisation with the archaeological and genealogical methods; training in document analysis.
o At the level of "applications": consolidation of knowledge pertaining to the criminological elaborations inscribed - or claiming to be inscribed - in a Foucauldian perspective (C. Gordon, N. Rose, J. Simon, J. Donzelot, D. Bigo'); critical appreciation of these elaborations, using as yardstick the aim which M. Foucault ascribed his work.
o At the ethical level: through the analysis of the tensions which traverse the work of M. Foucault and which give it its dynamic, students will be familiarised with the implications of an ethics of science and with its innovative effects - epistemological, theoretical, methodological, and even aesthetical and stylistic effects -; they will learn to evaluate the uses, functions and effects of Foucauldian research.
