As one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century,
Michel Foucault's reputation today rests on his political
philosophy in relation to the contemporary subject in a neo-liberal
and globalized society. This book offers insight into the role of
the arts in Foucault's thought as a means to better understanding
his contribution to larger debates concerning contemporary
existence. Visual culture, literary, film and performance studies
have all engaged with Foucauldian theories, but a full examination
of Foucault's significance for aesthetic discourse has been lacking
until now. This book argues that Foucault's particular approach to
philosophy as a way of thinking the self through the work of art
provides significant grounds for rethinking his impact today. The
volume moves across as many disciplinary boundaries as Foucault
himself did, demonstrating the value of Foucault's approach to
aesthetic discourse for our understanding of how the arts and
humanities reflect upon contemporary existence in a globalized
society.
