My review of Foucault’s lecture courses Du gouvernement du vivants/On the Government of the Living and Mal faire, dire vrai/Wrong-Doing, Truth-Telling is now available, open access, at Berfrois.
It’s entitled ‘Confession, Flesh, Power and Truth‘ and it tries to situate these courses in relation to various longer-term projects of Foucault’s. I also say a little about Subjectivité et vérité and the overall project of publishing Foucault’s lectures.
All will be discussed in much more detail in Foucault’s Last Decade.

Hi,
is the reference to a separate study “Pouvoir de la vérité” found in the original French and removed in the English translation?
thanks
Yes – French Tel edition p. 79 n. 1; compare English p. 59 n. 2.
thanks – the Tel 1994 edition is the same (pagination, etc..) as the 1976 Gallimard edition, right?
I’m not sure – my guess is that the pages are different due to size of the pages. I think they reset the pages for the reprint edition. I have a copy of the 1976 edition, but not here.
