Opis

The issue of the sensual perception in Michel Foucault's thought has been a source of prolific discussion for quite some time. This work seeks to challenge this portrait by presenting an alternative view of Foucault as a thinker for whom the sound, voice, and listening, the auditory-sonorous, actually did matter.
