3"L’organisation d’une pénalité d’enfermement n’est pas simplement récente, elle est énigmatique. Qu’est-ce qui pénètre dans la prison? En tout cas, pas la loi. Que fabrique-t-elle? Une communauté d’ennemis intérieurs". C’est en ces termes que Michel Foucault dénonce, dans ce cours prononcé en 1973, et que viendra compléter, en 1975, son ouvrage Surveiller et punir, le "cercle carcéral". La Société punitive étudie ainsi comment les sociétés traitent les individus ou les groupes dont elles souhait…Read more

5Subjectivité et vérité: cours au Collège de France (1980-1981)Gallimard. 2014.Foucault prononce en 1981 un cours qui marque une inflexion décisive dans son chemin de pensée et le projet ébauché dès 1976 d'une Histoire de la sexualité. C'est le moment où les arts de vivre deviennent le foyer de sens à partir duquel pourra se déployer une pensée neuve de la subjectivité. C'est le moment aussi où Foucault problématise une conception de l'éthique comprise comme l'élaboration patiente d'un rapport de soi à soi. L'étude de l'expérience sexuelle des Anciens permet ces nouveaux d…Read more

4Language, madness, and desire: on literatureUniversity of Minnesota Press. 2015.As a transformative thinker of the twentieth century, whose work spanned all branches of the humanities, Michel Foucault had a complex and profound relationship with literature. And yet this critical aspect of his thought, because it was largely expressed in speeches and interviews, remains virtually unknown to even his most loyal readers. This book brings together previously unpublished transcripts of oral presentations in which Foucault speaks at length about literature and its links to some o…Read more

2Comment se fait-il que, dans nos sociétés, nous soyons encore et toujours obligés de dire vrai sur nous-même? À la fin du premier semestre 1982, Michel Foucault prononce à l'Université Victoria de Toronto un cycle de conférences dont le thème, s'inscrivant dans le cadre du projet d'une généalogie du sujet occidental moderne, est la formation historique de l'herméneutique de soi. Après avoir analysé le type de connaissance de soi et de rapport à soi qui caractérise l'askêsis gré…Read more

5These thirteen lectures on the 'punitive society,' delivered at the Collège de France in the first three months of 1973, examine the way in which the relations between justice and truth that govern modern penal law were forged, and question what links them to the emergence of a new punitive regime that still dominates contemporary society. Praise for Foucault's Lectures at the Collège de France Series “Ideas spark off nearly every page...The words may have been spoken in [the 1970s], but they se…Read more

17Sexuality: the 1964 Clermont-Ferrand and 1969 Vincennes lecturesColumbia University Press. 2021.Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality-the first volume of which was published in 1976-exerts a vast influence across the humanities and social sciences. However, Foucault's interest in the history of sexuality began as early as the 1960s, when he taught two courses on the subject. These lectures offer crucial insight into the development of Foucault's thought yet have remained unpublished until recently. This book presents Foucault's lectures on sexuality for the first time in English. In t…Read more

11Speaking the truth about oneself: lectures at Victoria University, Toronto, 1982University of Chicago Press. 2021.Speaking the Truth about Oneself is composed of lectures that acclaimed French philosopher Michel Foucault delivered in 1982 at the University of Toronto. As is characteristic of his later work, he is concerned here with the care and cultivation of the self, which becomes the central theme of the second and third volumes of his famous History of Sexuality, published in French in 1984, the month of his death, and which are explored here in a striking and typically illuminating fashion. Throughout…Read more

20Linguistics and Social SciencesTheory, Culture and Society 40 (1-2): 259-278. 2023.Written with the suppression of the Tunisian students by their own government in view, Michel Foucault’s March 1968 ‘Linguistics and Social Sciences’ opens up a new horizon of historical inquiry and epitomises Foucault’s abiding interest in formulating new methods for studying the interaction of language and power. Translated into English for the first time by Jonathan D.S. Schroeder and Chantal Wright, this remarkable lecture constitutes Foucault’s most explicit and sustained statement of his p…Read more

6Interview with Madeleine ChapsalJournal of Continental Philosophy 1 (1): 29-35. 2020.In this 1966 interview, published here in English translation for the first time, Michel Foucault positions himself as a representative of a ‘generation’ of French thinkers who turned towards the analysis of ‘structures’ and away from the phenomenological approaches that had previously dominated French philosophy. In this, Foucault claims inspiration not only from older French scholars—namely Georges Dumézil, Jacques Lacan, and Claude Lévi-Strauss—but also from the science of genetics.

46Political Spirituality as the Will for Alterity: An Interview with the Nouvel ObservateurCritical Inquiry 47 (1): 121-134. 2020.An interview with Michel Foucault in 1979 that was never published during his lifetime and was recently rediscovered in the archives. The interview, appearing for the first time in English and in its complete form, marks one of Foucault’s final public discussions of the contentious topic of the Iranian Revolution. In particular, Foucault clarifies what he means by “political spirituality” and addresses the respective relations between religion, revolution, and self-transformation.

19A manuscript by Michel Foucault on psychoanalysisAstérion 21. 2019.Dans ce manuscrit du début des années 1950, Foucault met en relief la perspective freudienne qui substitue à l’approche biologique de la maladie fondée sur l’évolutionnisme une démarche basée sur la compréhension de sa signification psychologique. Cependant, puisque le point de vue évolutif n’est jamais abandonné par Freud, se pose la question de savoir comment, dans la définition psychanalytique de la maladie et de ses rapports à la personnalité, se distribuent les éléments d’une analyse évolut…Read more
