Book synopsis

Dan Beer uncovers a labyrinthine network of ideas and linguistic patterns beneath the surface of French philsopher and historian Michel Foucault's 1976 critique of sex and sexuality, La Volonte de Savoir. Through close textual analysis he addresses the issue of language and its effects on the world we inhabit. A fascinating and diverse range of references informs Michel Foucault: Form and Power: whether discussing the forgotten narratives of nineteenth-century European psychiatry, examining the scope of confessional literature, or engaging with the heated debates that surround Foucault's language and ideas, Beer's work entertains and informs. (Legenda 2002)
