French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault is essential
reading for students in departments of literature, history,
sociology and cultural studies. 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.
