This 1 credit reading group will focus on the last ten years of Foucault’s life beginning with his strong political turn after his May 1968 activism in Paris, his participation in the 1975 Schizo-Culture conference at Columbia University (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/schizo-culture#.Wf8aI3D9ZAQ.twitter, and, more generally, his subsequent re-reading of his earlier oeuvre (see https://www.thenation.com/article/the-other-foucault/). In particular we expect to read:
Giles Deleuze, Foucault
Stuart Elden, Foucault’s Last Decade
Wendy Brown, Undoing the Demos (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/undoing-demos)
Jean Baudrillard, Forget Foucault (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/undoing-demos)
Foucault, Michel. The Politics of Truth
