Eindringlich beschreibt der Philosoph Michel Foucault Diego Velázquez' berühmtes Bild Las Meninas (»Die Hoffräulein«) von 1656: Ein Bild, das der Kunstgeschichte Rätsel aufgab. Auf den ersten Blick porträtiert es die kleine Prinzessin Margarete von Spanien in kostbarem weißem Brokat, umgeben von ihrem Hofstaat. Doch auf linker Seite mit erhobenem Pinsel und vor seiner Staffelei erkennt der aufmerksame Betrachtende den Maler selbst. Portraitiert das Bild also genaugenommen den Akt des Portraitierens?

Wieso aber schaut der Maler so konzentriert zu den Betrachtenden und...

Death and the Labyrinth is unique, being Foucault's only work on literature. For Foucault this was "by far the book I wrote most easily and with the greatest pleasure." Here, Foucault explores theory, criticism and psychology through the texts of Raymond Roussel, one of the fathers of experimental writing, whose work has been celebrated by the likes of Cocteau, Duchamp, Breton, Robbe Grillet, Gide and Giacometti.

Three years before his death, Michel Foucault delivered a series of lectures at the Catholic University of Louvain that until recently remained almost unknown. These lectures--which focus on the role of avowal, or confession, in the determination of truth and justice--provide the missing link between Foucault's early work on madness, delinquency, and sexuality and his later explorations of subjectivity in Greek and Roman antiquity.

Marking a major development in Foucault's thinking, this book takes as its starting point the notion of "biopower," studying the foundations of this new technology of power over populations. Distinct from punitive disciplinary systems, the mechanisms of power are here finely entwined with the technologies of security. In this volume, though, Foucault begins to turn his attention to the history of "governmentality," from the first centuries of the Christian era to the emergence of the modern nation state--shifting the center of gravity of the lectures from the question of biopower to that...

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 This book brings together previously unpublished transcripts of oral presentations in which Foucault speaks at length about literature and its links to some of his principal themes: madness, language and criticism, and truth and desire.
