TLDR
Parrhesia is defined as a notion of truth or free speech unbounded by rhetoric as discussed by the authors, and it requires a "truth teller" to assume risk and have some ties to some undeniable logical form.Abstract:
The rise of antiessentialism can have specific consequences regarding economies of power and identity (Anderson, 1992). One discovers that as certain antiessentialist practices and discourses emerge, a body politic and its membership can also change, reflecting different political, social, or economic goals. A mechanism to cope with these realities, parrhesia is understood as a notion of truth or free speech unbounded by rhetoric. It requires a "truth teller" to assume risk and have some ties to some undeniable logical form. Resistance through the act of parrhesia then can lead both to "othering" as well as a mechanism to check political power. Though problematic in certain instances, it can contribute to governance in contemporary society.read more

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present La Volonté de Savoir, the methodological introduction of a projected five-volume history of sexuality, which seems to have a special fascination for Foucault: the gradual emergence of medicine as an institution, the birth of political economy, demography and linguistics as human sciences, the invention of incarceration and confinement for the control of the "other" in society (the mad, the libertine, the criminal) and that special violence that lurks beneath the power to control discourse.
