M ICHEL F OUCAULT seeks throughout his work to make sense of how our contemporary society is structured differently from the society that preceded us. He has been particularly influential precisely because he tends to overturn accepted wisdom, illustrating the dangers inherent in those Enlightenment reforms that were designed to correct the barbarity of previous periods (the elimination of dungeons, the modernization of medicine, the creation of the public university, etc.). As Foucault illustrates, each process of modernization entails disturbing effects with regard to the power of the individual and the control of government. Indeed, his most influential work, Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison , paints a picture of contemporary society that sometimes resembles George Orwell's . He explores the ways that government has claimed ever greater control over and enforcement of ever more private aspects of our lives. In particular, Foucault explores the transition from what he terms a "culture of spectacle" to a "carceral culture." Whereas in the former punishment was effected on the body in public displays of torture, dismemberment, and obliteration, in the latter punishment and discipline become internalized and directed to the constitution and, when necessary, rehabilitation of social subjects.

Main Page Dates Places People and Events Michel Foucault Excerpt from The Lives of Michel Foucault: a Biography , by David Macey: In May [1975], the Collège [de France]’s academic year drew to a close and Foucault left for a brief visit to the United States, having been invited by Leo Bersani to take the post of visiting professor in French at the University of [California,] Berkeley. He had already been to America on a number of occasions, but this was his first visit to California. He at once took a great liking to the West Coast, which was always to have an almost utopian appeal for him. He was well received on campus, though it would be a few years before he finally made his triumphant breakthrough and became a major figure in the US. By now he had learned to enjoy the relatively relaxed atmosphere of American universities, and no longer resented the assumptions students made about his availability for informal discussion, as he had done on his first visits. His spoken English had also improved since 1971, and he no longer required an interpreter for all his talks. Foucault was scheduled to give public lectures and a seminar, but only fragments of what was said have survived. Two fragmentary typescripts, one dated 8 May 1975, the other undated, and entitled, respectively, ‘Discourse and Repression’ and ‘On Infantile Sexuality’, indicate that he was working on an early version of

Contact History of Madness by Michel Foucault by James Hollis August 8th, 2007 History of Madness by Michel Foucault Routledge, 725 pp. CLR Rating: “Is it not by locking up one’s neighbor that one convinces oneself of one’s own good sense.” Dostoevsky, A Writer’s Diary The epigraph above, used by Michel Foucault (1926-84) in his magisterial History of Madness , reveals his angle of entry into the subject. Not only does he recount the history of how we have understood or prejudiced, punished or treated madness , but deconstructs the idea of madness , and offers his own working understanding of the boundary lines which shift so uncertainly in all of us. The English reader is to be grateful for this new 700 page edition of the 1961 Folie et D©raison: Histoire de la folie ¡ l’¢ge classique , for not only does it restore the c. 300 pages missing in the truncated Madness and Civilization published heretofore, but also includes Foucault’s impassioned, albeit pedantic quarrel with Jacques Derrida over the nuances of terminology and its precarious purchase on something we might call reality In approaching the subject of madness, Foucault employs the terms

This might serve as the ideal motto for a dedicated Foucault website, were it not for the context, where one also finds advice that seems to bar Foucauldians from being biblical: "But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile." (Titus 3:9) For those who are not phobic about juxtaposing discipline and knowledge, love, hate, and the stupidity of genealogies, Hydra presents the bibliographical treasures formerly held at the Bibliothèque Saulchoir and now accessible at the Institut Mémoires de l'Edition Contemporaine (IMEC), plus other resources for Foucault readers and scholars.
