The Sociological Imagination has gathered up online lectures relating to Judith Butler’s new book Notes Towards a Performative Theory of Assembly.
Here’s the first of them – the ‘Human Shield’ London Review of International Law lecture given at the LSE in February 2015:

“Danger, Crime and Rights: A 1983 conversation between Michel Foucault and Jonathan Simon” is forthcoming in Theory, Culture and Society. I found a recording of the discussion in the Berkeley archive, and since I knew Jonathan, got in touch. We had a conversation about it at Berkeley, and TCS agreed to paid for the transcription. This was done by Katie Dingley, and lightly edited by me – mainly adding a few explanatory notes. I wrote an introduction; Jonathan wrote a commentary.
Daniel Defert and Henri-Paul Fruchaud helped with getting the rights. This will now appear in the journal, hopefully sometime in 2016. A French translation may follow.
The article will be accompanied by a photograph taken a few moments after this one. Jonathan Simon is two to the right of Foucault, between Keith Gandal and Arturo Escobar.
Foucault, About the Beginning of the Hermeneutics of the Self: Lectures at Dartmouth College, 1980, is now published with University of Chicago Press.
When the book came out in French I provided a note of the original English-language sources. What this means is that the new volume is mainly of interest for the previously unpublished discussion, the notes and introduction.
I discuss the lectures in Foucault’s Last Decade.
This looks interesting – a day of discussions on Foucault at the EHESS in the light of the Pléiade collected edition.
Journée d’études à l’EHESS
« Relire le Foucault de la Pléiade »

École des Hautes études en sciences sociales

En novembre 2015, Michel Foucault fait son entrée à la Pléiade. La question que nous allons nous poser, dans cette journée d’étude, est la suivante : Est-il possible de discerner aujourd’hui une nouvelle lecture de Foucault grâce a cette édition Pléiade, les nouvelles notices, ou l’événement même de son entrée ? Est-ce que la publication des cours au Collège de France, l’accès aux nouvelles archives du Fonds Foucault à la BnF, ou d’autres développements récents, nous permettent de repenser les livres, la collection des œuvres publiées dans cette nouvelle édition Pléiade, ou, plus largement, « l’intervention Foucault » ? Pourrait-on discerner un nouveau Foucault ?
Avec Frédéric Gros, Arianna Sforzini, Daniele Lorenzini, François Delaporte, Daniel Defert, Jean-Francois Bert…

Foucault Studies 20 is now published. It’s a very large issue of 371 pages, all available open access. There is a theme section on ‘Civil Society’, a number of other articles and reviews, and a review symposium on On Government of the Living.
There is also ‘The Uncollected Foucault‘, a bibliography I compiled of pieces that are not in Dits et écrits, but which are available in some form. As I say in the opening note:
While I have tried to be comprehensive, the nature of the task is such that there are doubtless other pieces that neither I, nor previous editors and bibliographers, have discovered. I have seen all of these pieces and verified the references.
Additions are welcome. Pieces in the bibliography which are available online are listed here, with links.
Online resources on the theme of Territory, Justice, and Rivers.
Papers delivered by participants at the ?Themes on Territory, Justice, and Rivers? Workshop (4-5 June 2015, UCC)
