His work on the institutions of mental health and medicine, the history of systems of knowledge, literature and literary theory, criminality and the prison system, and sexuality, has had a profound and enduring impact across the humanities and social sciences. This introductory book, written for students, offers in-depth critical and contextual perspectives on all of Foucault's major published works. It provides ways in to understanding Foucault's key concepts of subjectivity, discourse, and power and explains the problems of translation encountered in reading Foucault in English. The book also explores the critical reception of Foucault's works and acquaints the reader with the afterlives of some of his theories, particularly his influence on feminist and queer studies. This book offers the ideal introduction to a famously complex, controversial and important thinker. 000349253 60010 $$aFoucault, Michel,$$d1926-1984. 000349253 650_0 $$aPhilosophers$$zFrance$$vBiography. 000349253 650_0 $$aPhilosophy$$zFrance$$y20th century. 000349253 830_0 $$aCambridge introductions to literature. 000349253 85200 $$bgen$$hB2430.F724$$iD69$$i2008 000349253 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0834/2008020089-b.html 000349253 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0834/2008020089-d.html 000349253 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0834/2008020089-t.html 000349253 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:349253$$pGLOBAL_SET 000349253 980__ $$aBIB 000349253 980__ $$aBOOK
