Claire O'Farrell: Foucault: Historian or Philosopher? (2016)
@ Foucault News CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
Editor (Claire O' Farrell): I am delighted to announce that my long out of print 1989 book (originally published with Macmillan) is soon to be republished as an ebook.
Description
The controversial French thinker, Michel Foucault, was famous not only for the variety of his interests but also for his frequent changes of position. Clare O’Farrell, in a lively and lucid account argues that for all this diversity his work was held together by a coherent theme, namely the idea that philosophy should be practised as an historical inquiry into the limits of ordered experience. At the same time, Foucault’s work is situated in its intellectual and social context in France and striking differences between its French- and English-language reception are discussed and explained.

OUT NOW ! Obsolete Capitalism :: Accelerazione, rivoluzione, moneta nell'Anti-Edipo di Deleuze e Guattari (Rizosfera, 2016) - collana «I forti dell'avvenire» (SF 002 it)
CLICCA QUI PER SCARICARE GRATUITAMENTE IL LIBRO
La ricerca nel cuore di tenebra dell'accelerazionismo, l'Anti-Edipo di Deleuze e Guattari, è arrivata al suo punto di non-ritorno. Si è palesata una mostruosità concettuale: l'accelerazionismo pulsionale o quantico, una «formazione» che si esprime tramite una nuova politica di corpi, onde oscure e forze il cui rapporto con la tecnologia è mediato dal bricolage pulsionale di singolarità e comunità invisibili e inoperose, a metà strada tra sperimentazione sociale e ricerca individuale. Una nuova via per ripensare concetti quale moneta, rivoluzione e accelerazione e riunire in un'unica trama cospirativa Deleuze, Foucault, Klossowski, Guattari e Nietzsche.

Eugene Wolters: AN INTERVIEW WITH STUART ELDEN @ Critical-Theory.com - 30 luglio 2016
Eugene Wolters:
AN INTERVIEW WITH STUART ELDEN
@ Critical-Theory.com - 30 luglio 2016
Michel Foucault died in 1984, at the age of 57, leaving much of his work unfinished. At the time of his death, he was still working on additional volumes of The History of Sexuality series, leaving behind an incomplete fourth volume and countless notes, writings and lectures around the subjects he planned to cover.
Stuart Elden, in his latest book “Foucault’s Last Decade,” meticulously pieces together Foucault’s work in the last 10 years of his life. Elden draws heavily from Foucault’s lectures at the Collège de France, where many of his ideas were tested and refined, along with archival material and his already published work. “Foucault’s Last Decade” provides an invaluable resource for scholars interested in Foucault’s later work, and the projects he had hoped to undertake.
Eugene Wolters: What motivated you to study this very specific period of Foucault’s life?
Stuart Elden: There were a number of reasons. The first was that we now have a lot more material from this period, with the completion of the publication of his Collège de France courses. I thought that a book which took all these courses into account in a study of Foucault’s work would be worthwhile. The courses fill in all sorts of detail that the books only hint at, show connections where there were seemingly discontinuities, and many discuss all sorts of new issues and material. So in one sense Foucault’s Last Decade acts as a companion to the lecture courses, treating them alongside the books and shorter writings, as well as some unpublished material, while trying to respect the differences in genre between published work, interviews, lectures and other material.
In addition the book treats a very specific project in Foucault’s career – the History of Sexuality. This is a project which had roots back to the 1960s, but which becomes the major focus of his work in the mid-1970s. Material which relates to this project begins to appear in his lecture courses from around 1974, and the first volume appeared in 1976. There he outlines the plan for five further volumes (as well as talks of a separate volume on power and truth). But he publishes none of these volumes, and when the series continues in 1984 the two volumes he publishes are on very different material, both in terms of content and historical period studied. A fourth volume was left almost complete at the time of his death in June 1984. So my project in this book was to interrogate how this project changed over time, using the lecture courses as a privileged insight.
Finally, I wanted to break from the idea – still very prevalent in the Anglophone literature especially – of a ‘late’ or ‘final’ Foucault. This suggests that his work took a very different turn in the early 1980s or late 1970s, with a ‘turn’ to antiquity, the subject, truth and ethics. I try to show in this book that there is a much stronger continuity of concerns, and that all the work of the 1974-84 period is connected, in some way, to the project of the History of Sexuality.

Between Deleuze and Foucault Edited by Nicolae Morar, Thomas Nail, and Daniel W. Smith @ Edinburgh University Press - September 2016
Between Deleuze and Foucault
Edited by Nicolae Morar, Thomas Nail, and Daniel W. Smith
Description. Between Deleuze and Foucault will be the first book that explicitly thematizes the relationship between Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault. Philosophers, cultural theorists, and others have devoted considerable effort to the critical examination of the work of each of these thinkers, but despite the strong biographical and philosophical connection between Deleuze and Foucault, very little has been done to explore the relationship between them. This collection brings together ten original essays from top and up-and-coming scholars in French philosophy as well as an interview with Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri on the relationship between Deleuze and Foucault. Contributors. Frédéric Gros, Michael Hardt, Colin Koopman, Leonard Lawlor, Justin Litaker, Nicolae Morar, Thomas Nail, Antonio Negri, Paul Patton, John Protevi, Judith Revel, Anne Sauvagnargues, Janae Sholtz, Daniel W. Smith.
The first rigorous, comparative discussion of Deleuze and Foucault: their philosophical relationship, their personal relationship and their divergences
Deleuze and Foucault had a long, complicated and productive relationship, in which each was at various times a significant influence on the other. This collection combines 3 original essays by Deleuze and Foucault, in which they respond to each other’s work, with 16 critical essays by key contemporary scholars working in the field. The result is a sustained discussion and analysis of the various dimensions of this fascinating relationship, which clarifies the implications of their philosophical encounter.

Dotan Leshem : The Origins of Neoliberalism: Modeling the Economy from Jesus to Foucault @ CUP (2016)
Dotan Leshem
The Origins of Neoliberalism: Modeling the Economy from Jesus to Foucault (2016)
Dotan Leshem recasts the history of the West from an economic perspective, bringing politics, philosophy, and the economy closer together and revealing the significant role of Christian theology in shaping economic and political thought. He begins with early Christian treatment of economic knowledge and the effect of this interaction on ancient politics and philosophy. He then follows the secularization of the economy in liberal and neoliberal theory.
Leshem draws on Hannah Arendt's history of politics and Michel Foucault's genealogy of economy and philosophy. He consults exegetical and apologetic tracts, homilies and eulogies, manuals and correspondence, and Church canons and creeds to trace the influence of the economy on Christian orthodoxy. Only by relocating the origins of modernity in Late Antiquity, Leshem argues, can we confront the full effect of the neoliberal marketized economy on contemporary societies. Then, he proposes, a new political philosophy that re-secularizes the economy will take shape and transform the human condition.
