...Michel Foucault (Pronunciación francesa: [miʃɛl fuko]), nacido como Paul-Michel Foucault (Poitiers, 15 de octubre de 1926 – París, 25 de junio de 1984) fue un historiador de las ideas, teórico social, psicólogo y filósofo francés. Fue profesor en varias universidades francesas y estadounidenses y catedrático de Historia de los sistemas de pensamiento en el Collège de France (1970-1984), en reemplazo de la cátedra de «Historia del pensamiento filosófico» que ocupó hasta su muerte Jean Hyppolite. El 12 de abril de 1970, la asamblea general de profesores del College de France eligio a Michel Foucault, que por entonces tenía 43 años, como titular de la nueva cátedra. Su trabajo ha influido en importantes personalidades de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades. Foucault es conocido principalmente por sus estudios críticos de las instituciones sociales, en especial la psiquiatría, la medicina, las ciencias humanas, el sistema de prisiones, así como por su trabajo sobre la historia de la sexualidad humana. Su trabajo sobre el poder y las relaciones entre poder, conocimiento y discurso ha sido ampliamente debatido. En los años 1960, Foucault estuvo asociado al estructuralismo, un movimiento del que se distanció más adelante, después de que, en algunas de sus primeras obras, coqueteara con el lenguaje estructuralista. Foucault también rechazó las etiquetas de postestructuralista y postmoderno, que le eran aplicadas habitualmente, prefiriendo clasificar su propio pensamiento como una...

...British government is democratic government. So, too, is American government; it roots are buried deep in English political and social history. Yet there are important differences between the two systems of government. Most of those differences grow out of this fundamnetally important point: Unlike government in the United State, government in Great Britain is unitary and and parlimentary in form and rests upon an unwritten constitution. They rule what they call a monarchy. The Monarchy In contrast to such republics as the United States and France, Britain has a hereditary ruler; so Great Britain is a monarchy. Its monarch bears the title of queen or king. While English monarchs once ruled with absolute power, their role has changed , and they are now little more than figureheads. Because her powers and duties are controlled by Britain's unwritten constitution, Elizabeth II, Britain's queen since 1952, is known as a constitutional monarch. In formal terms, all acts of the British government are performed in the name of the queen. The queen does appoint the prime minister, byt her choice is subject to the approval of the House of Commons. So, traditionally, she chooses the leader of the majority party in that house to be prime minister. She has no power to dismiss the prome minister. The house of Lords The upper chamber, the House of lords, is a predominantly aristocratic body of more than1,100 members. More than 750 of its members have inherited their positions. They hold...
