For close to half a century, the innovative thought of French philosopher and social critic Michel Foucault has exercised an enormous influence across a wide range of disciplines, and continues to be widely debated in intellectual circles. This book is the most extensive and up-to-date anthology of explorations of his work currently available. Featuring essays from a wide range of established and emerging Foucault scholars, chapters address various thematic aspects of his major works, including his recently published courses at the Collège de France. Additional essays consider his writings on such topics as knowledge and critique, power and government, sex and gender, and ethics and modernity, as well as on religion, race, and the environment. Also featured is the first full translation of Daniel Defert's Chronology of Foucault's life and works from Dits et écrits, along with a comprehensive bibliography of the philosopher's shorter works in English, cross-referenced to the standard French edition. A Companion to Foucault sheds important new light on one of the major twentieth-century figures in the world of ideas. --from inside jacket.

The following work studies the evolution of masculinity representation in various and diachronic Frankenstein-esque filmic adaptations, focusing on the T.V. series Penny Dreadful, leaning on the poststructuralist idea of gender performances and drawing on French philosopher Michel Foucault.

Quels rapports Michel Foucault a-t-il entretenu avec l'espace littéraire ? Cet essai délimite et interroge un moment, pendant les années 1960, où la littérature a représenté un recours, puis un défi, dans l'itinéraire du penseur. Elle apparaît comme un langage radical de la déraison, sous les traits du Sade d'Histoire de la folie ; comme une hérésie à même de renverser la philosophie classique, avec Bataille, Klossowski et Blanchot ; ou comme une citadelle de signes érigée pour concurrencer l'ordre des choses, ainsi que Foucault l'énonce dans Raymond Roussel. La traversée de ce territoire précaire, où se mêlent la violence de l'altérité et l'étrangeté de la similitude, fascina littéralement Foucault, jusqu'à l'ébranler. Mais plutôt que de consentir à la fascination, il ancra finalement le centre de gravité de sa pensée à distance de la littérature, tout en trouvant en elle, secrètement, une ressource pour subvertir le corps des « discours sérieux » - une plastique, une tactique, un style. Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur joue le jeu qui fut celui du penseur : plutôt que d'aborder des œuvres littéraires à l'aide des outils du philosophe ou de l'historien, il observe comment un discours réputé savant - celui de Foucault en l'occurrence - fonctionne comme fiction, ou dramaturgie, et s'écrit comme œuvre.

`The truth will set you free' is a maxim central to both theories and practices of resistance. Nonetheless, it is a claim that has come under fire from an array of critical perspectives in the second half of the 20th century. Iain MacKenzie analyses two of the most compelling of these perspectives: the poststructuralist politics of truth formulated by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze and the alternative post-foundational account of truth and militancy developed by Alain Badiou. He argues that a critically oriented version of poststructuralism provides both an understanding of the deeply entwined nature of truth and power and a compelling account of the creative practices that may sustain resistance.
