In this paper I problematize the notion of majority/ minority and try to argue that much of this construction can be shown to have links with forms of colonial governmentality in South Asia. Using relevant literature, the paper discusses how categories such as “minority” or “majority” came into being and were normalized through different technologies of power in post‑colonial states such as ours. Such constructions, when taken uncritically, can pose problems for the communities to which they refer. The paper indicates that nomenclature is an important issue and one needs to be careful about the terms they use, as they may have a far‑reaching effect.

Considering the issue of power in Foucault will always lead to comments on the issue of knowledge and vice versa. What I suggest in this paper, however, is to look into both topics presented in the work by Foucault separately, at least to a certain extent. I believe that the evolution of these two threads in his works allows us to evaluate their suitability differently as far as their relevance to contemporary culture is concerned. Foucault’s approach to the issue of power and its evolution towards so-called governmentality is evidence of how accurately he sensed the direction of changes to the Zeitgeist of Western civilizations, a fact which cannot be said about the evolution of Foucault’s approach to the issue of knowledge, leaning towards the question of truth and truth-telling. The aim of this paper is to substantiate the outlined and differentiated evaluation of Foucault’s oeuvre while, at the same time, highlighting the predominant features of contemporary culture. Special attention will be paid to the role of sociology in governmentality.

Wprowadzenie do tomu Perspektywa Foucaultowska we współczesnej refleksji badawczej składa się z dwóch części. Celem pierwszej z nich jest zwięzłe zaprezentowanie głównych kierunków współczesnych inspiracji bogatym dorobkiem Michela Foucaulta, do których należą między innymi studia nad biopolityką, rządomyślnością/urządzaniem (governmentality), krytyczne analizy neoliberalizmu, analiza dyspozytywu oraz refleksja nad kategoriami krytyki i parezji. W drugiej części charakteryzowany jest tematyczny zakres tomu, który odzwierciedla wieloaspektowość i wielowątkowość postfoucaultowskiej refleksji badawczej.

The introduction to the volume Foucauldian Perspective in Contemporary Research consists of two parts. The aim of the first part is a brief presentation of the main directions in contemporary studies inspired by Michel Foucault’s legacy to which belong, for example, studies in biopolitics, governmentality studies, critical analysis of neoliberalism, dispositive analysis, and reflection on the categories of critique and parrhesia. The second part characterizes the thematic field of the volume, which reflects the multidimensionality and complexity of post-Foucauldian research.
