Few thinkers can have had a more diverse or a more contested impact
on theorizing law than Michel Foucault. This diversity is reflected
in the wide range of Foucault's work and of the intellectual fields
it has so conspicuously influenced. Such diversity informs the
present collection and is signalled in the headings of its four
sections: c Epistemologies: archaeology, discourse, Orientalism c
Political philosophy: discipline, governmentality and the genealogy
of law c Embodiment, difference, sexuality and the law c The
subject of rights and ethics. Whilst the published work selected
for this collection amply accommodates this diversity, it also
draws together strands in Foucault's work that coalesce in
seemingly conflicting theories of law. Yet the editors are also
committed to showing how that very conflict goes to constitute for
Foucault an integral and radical theory of law. This theory ranges
not just beyond the restrained and diminished conceptions of law
usually derived from Foucault, but also beyond the characteristic
concern in Jurisprudence and Legal Philosophy to constitute law in
its difference and separation from other socio-political forms.
