Expanding the insights of Arlette Farge and Michel Foucault's
Disorderly Families into policing, public order, (in)justice, and
daily life What might it mean for ordinary people to intervene in
the circulation of power between police and the streets, sovereigns
and their subjects? How did the police come to understand
themselves as responsible for the circulation of people as much as
things-and to separate law and justice from the maintenance of a
newly emergent civil order? These are among the many questions
addressed in the interpretive essays in Archives of Infamy.
Crisscrossing the Atlantic to bring together unpublished radio
broadcasts, book reviews, and essays by historians, geographers,
and political theorists, Archives of Infamy provides historical and
archival contexts to the recent translation of Disorderly Families
by Arlette Farge and Michel Foucault. This volume includes new
translations of key texts, including a radio address Foucault gave
in 1983 that explains the writing process for Disorderly Families;
two essays by Foucault not readily available in English; and a
previously untranslated essay by Farge that describes how
historians have appropriated Foucault. Archives of Infamy pushes
past old debates between philosophers and historians to offer a new
perspective on the crystallization of ideas-of the family, gender
relations, and political power-into social relationships and the
regimes of power they engender. Contributors: Roger Chartier,
College de France; Stuart Elden, U of Warwick; Arlette Farge,
Centre national de recherche scientifique; Michel Foucault
(1926-1984); Jean-Philippe Guinle, Catholic Institute of Paris;
Michel Heurteaux; Pierre Nora, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences
Sociales; Michael Rey (1953-1993); Thomas Scott-Railton; Elizabeth
Wingrove, U of Michigan.
