Both as historian and maker of culture, Foucault infused numerous
disciplines of study with a new conceptual vocabulary and an agenda
for future research. His ideas have called central assumptions in
Western culture into question and altered the ways in which
scholars and social scientists approach such issues as discourse
theory, theory of knowledge, Eros, technologies of the Self and
Other, punishment and prisons, and asylums and madness.The
contributors to this volume indicate Foucault's achievements and
the suggestive power of his work, as well as his methodological
weaknesses, historical inaccuracies, and ambiguities. Above all,
they attempt to show how one can use Foucault to go beyond him in
opening new approaches to cultural history. Though
comprehensiveness was not attempted, their essays broach the major
controversial aspects of Foucauldian cultural history--the position
of the subject, the fusion of power and knowledge, sexuality, the
historical structures and changes--and they explicitly analyze them
with respect to antiquity, the Renaissance, and the nineteenth
century.In this collection, Neubauer presents analyses by
historians, literary scholars, and philosophers of the entire,
transdisciplinary range of Foucault's oeuvre, emphasizing the rich
suggestiveness of its agenda. The breadth of the undertaking makes
it suitable for seminars and graduate courses in numerous
departments.
