A previously unpublished 1983 conversation between Michel Foucault and Jonathan Simon – forthcoming in Theory, Culture and Society

Posted on December 29, 2015 by stuartelden

home_cover“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

Posted on December 29, 2015 by stuartelden

9780226188546Foucault, 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 What this means is that the new volume is mainly of interest for the previously unpublished discussion, the notes and introduction.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.

Relire le Foucault de La Pléiade (2016)

Posted on December 28, 2015 by stuartelden

This looks interesting – a day of discussions on Foucault at the EHESS in the light of the Pléiade collected edition.

Clare O'Farrell's avatarFoucault News

Journée d’études à l’EHESS

« Relire le Foucault de la Pléiade »

6 janvier 2016
École des Hautes études en sciences sociales
amphithéâtre François-Furet
105 bd Raspail
75006 Paris

PDF of programme

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 – now published, including ‘The Uncollected Foucault’

Posted on December 28, 2015 by stuartelden

cover_issue_596_en_USFoucault 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.

Foucault’s 1982 lectures in Toronto and Kingston – were you there? A request for help

Posted on December 21, 2015 by stuartelden

In June 1982 Foucault gave a sequence of lectures in Toronto. At the end of June he gave a guest lecture at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, adapting one of the Toronto lectures for that audience. These lectures are being prepared for publication, and the editors would like to hear from people who attended, know someone who attended, or who have other information about the events.

There are transcripts of the lectures in archives in Berkeley and Caen, but these are incomplete and there is conflicting information about what, exactly, Foucault said there and what was said elsewhere when similar lectures were delivered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can help, please either comment here, or contact Clive Thompson directly.
