Foucault : Magritte, Klee, Manet….

Didier Eribon on Foucault, Magritte, Klee and Manet…

Clare O'Farrell's avatarFoucault News

FOUCAULT : MAGRITTE, KLEE, MANET…., le Site personel de Didier Eribon, 6 December 2013
J’ai retrouvé dans mes fichiers l’ébauche d’un chapitre sur Foucault et Magritte et Manet qui devait s’intégrer dans mon livre paru en octobre 1994 chez Fayard, Michel Foucault et ses contemporains. Il est resté à l’état d’esquisse (j’ai abandonné plusieurs chapitres de cet ouvrage, dont celui-ci, pour qu’il ne grossisse pas démesurément). Je le donne à lire dans son caractère totalement inachevé, à titre documentaire. Quand j’avais commencé à y travailler, en 1993 ou au début de l’année 1994, les Dits et écrits de Foucault n’existaient pas encore ; et j’avais simplement ajouté quelques mentions ou références à ces volumes – dont j’avais reçu les épreuves pendant l’été 1994 – ce qui explique que les notes ne renvoient le plus souvent qu’aux lieux de publication initiaux).

Foucault – ‘Power, Moral Values, and the Intellectual’ 1980 interview online

The Foucault interview entitled ‘Power, Moral Values, and the Intellectual’ was conducted on 3 November 1980, and first published in History of the Present 4 (Spring 1988), 1-2, 11-13, although some excerpts appeared in the Berkeley student newspaper in 1980. Because it was published after Foucault’s death, it was deemed to be a ‘posthumous publication’ and therefore not included in Dits et écrits. It is listed in Jacques Lagrange, “Complément bibliographiques”, DE IV, 838; and in Richard Lynch’s bibliography in A Companion to Foucault as OT-80-04.

Colin Koopman’s Genealogy as Critique alerted me to an online version, which can be found here, posted by Michael Bess who conducted the interview. A minor, but interesting text.

Shakespearean Territories – planned book now has a dedicated page

I’ve consolidated all the links to audio recordings and other pieces on a dedicated page for the Shakespearean Territories planned book project. This project has slipped a bit recently, as I’ve been concentrating on the Foucault’s Last Decade book, but I hope to return to it soon.

Kyle McGee – Bruno Latour: The Normativity of Networks

McGee

Kyle McGee’s Bruno Latour: The Normativity of Networks was published late last year. Looks interesting, with an examination of Latour’s legal theory. It comes with two very positive endorsements, including one from Latour himself. Great shame about the price though.

Heidegger, race, calculation – more comments on the notebooks (in German)

Some interesting discussion in Die Zeit in German (see also my previous post with links to discussion in France). Especially interesting how it links the racial thought to calculation – a major theme of his work, but especially of the posthumous writings. Thanks to Peter Gratton for the link.
