Foucaultian Perspectives

Foucaultian Perspectives is a new section which aims to problematize, from a Foucaultian point of view, books that are neither by Foucault nor on Foucault. Therefore, the short papers and forums on these texts are not reviews in the strict sense of the term (since reviews consider a book in all its aspects and do not necessarily read it from an external perspective). They rather aim at establishing a critical tension between Foucault’s thought and a series of materials which are different from it in several respects. We hope that this encounter could generate new ways of questioning the books discussed here, as well as Foucault’s thought itself.
