	Michael Foucault and Communication
		Foucault's concept of the discursive formation is valuable to LIS because it gives LIS scholars a vocabulary and a conceptual framework with which to articulate and consider the problem Wiegand has identified.
		Foucault was a scholar whose primary activities were to identify discursive formations as traps to speaking and thinking and to articulate ways in which scholars might escape from these traps.
		Foucault does not claim to have found what is "really going on" in history, as opposed to what people mistakenly think is going on, because the ultimate truth is not what grounds his historical knowledge.

	Dictionary for the Study of the Works of Michel Foucault
		Foucault opposes the "repressive hypothesis" to "bio-technico-power (or bio-power).
		Foucault teaches this concept by example from Bacon: The human Intellect, from its peculiar nature, easily supposes a greater order and equality in things than it actually finds; and, while there are many things in Nature unique, and quite irregular, still it feigns parallels, correspondents, and relations that have no existence.

	Michel Foucault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Foucault is known for his critical studies of various social institutions, most notably psychiatry, medicine, parameters of educational timeframes, and the prison system, and also for his work on the history of sexuality.

	Michel Foucault Summary
		Michel Foucault was a twentieth-century French philosopher who produced a set of works that challenged the philosophical, historical, and sociological underpinnings of Western Civilization.
		Michel Foucault is remembered as a thinker who tried to show that the basic ideas which people normally believe to be permanent truths about human nature and society actually change throughout the course of history.
		Michel Foucault (1926–1984), who was born in Poitiers, France on October 15 and died in Paris of AIDS on June 25, was a controversial philosopher whose interdisciplinary work has important if indirect implications for science, technology, and ethi...

	Mind / Matter
		Breaking apart the unity of the culture-power-ideology schema proposed by Karl Marx in Capital, Volume One, Louis Althusser and Michael Foucault lay the foundation for a role of the individual in effecting social transformation.
		Foucault challenges the notion that ideology is a coherent system of beliefs that emerges as the result of a discourse.
		Instead of emerging from debate and struggle, Foucault argues that ideology is coherent in articulation and deployment.

	Foucault (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Michael Foucault’s theoretical perspective of social order encompasses multiple theoretical orientations but has been classified as that of poststructuralist, due to his belief that there is no formal rule governing behavior.
		Foucault saw the carceral method of control as having a major influence on the development of disciplinary methods employed by societal organizations.
		Foucault contended that the macroscopic view of social order was not just the multiplication of micro interactions but formed by the individual’s investment in their social group (Foucault, 1977).

	Michael Foucault (1926-1984)
		He was seeking to show how the way knowledge is organised reflects the power structures within a society and how the definition of the normal man, or mind, or body, is as much a political construct as one that reflects ´the truth´.

	governmentalisation - Author Kerry Braye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Foucault (1980) prefers to use the term 'government' and suggests that relationships exist in which power and government as such are dependent on each other (Foucault, 1980: 119).
		In other words, government in its most general sense is a modality of the exercise of power that is concerned with the 'conduct of conduct' (Foucault, 1980: 119) and avoids the extremes of domination.
		Regulation of conduct is constrained within the boundaries of institutions like the media of which, according to Foucault (1991), must be organised internally first before it can govern successfully outside its boundaries.

	foucault page
		Foucault's concept of "governmentality" emerges in his later work on the "technologies of the self" or the "arts of existence," and as Tremain notes, the term "government" refers "to any form of activity that aims to shape, guide, or affect the conduct of some person or persons"(8).
		To do this, she turns to Foucault, because "his work is historically, conceptually, and methodologically relevant to a critical analysis of the classification of mental retardation, and provides the occasion for a philosophical reorientation toward the category"(133).
		Indeed, Foucault's genealogical method is interested in bringing into being the "insurrection of subjugated knowledges," that are buried and disqualified knowledges of struggles.

	Amazon.ca: The Passion of Michael Foucault: Books: Jim Miller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Miller has thoroughly researched and presented Foucault's intellectual journey, from his early (and lifelong) fascination with Nietzsche, through his studies in psychiatry in Sweden, attempts to remove his personality when presenting a history of science, and radical leftist political activism, to his delving into the world of sensation, the "limit-experience," and the will to know.
		Despite Foucault's writing about it and his advocacy of a nameless or faceless book, I am aware that Foucault was aware of his author function.
		His Foucault is the opposite of a detached intellectual; he's an almost shamanistic quasi-hero, a voyager beyond the bounds of the ordinary, who when he's not campaigning for better prison conditions is taking LSD in Death Valley and revelling in the leather bars of San Francisco.

		Posted by Michael on 08/09 at 08:29 PM Which is to say that the key word in Michael’s complaint is “allegedly,” as in allegedly routed the Taliban.
		The claim Michael made was not “a decisive blow for human freedom has been struck in Afghanistan.” Rather, I read him to assert, in essence, that things were better for the Afghanis, at least to some extent and for a period of time, due to the fact the Taliban was routed.
		Finally, to evaluate the truth of Michael’s claim it is not sufficient, as I have already stated, merely to recapitulate the constraints on and disregard for human freedom that existed in Afghanistan under the Taliban during various periods of its rule.

	An Outline of the idea of Foucault (as presented in BBC Doc 1992)
		If Foucault is right then hierarchical power relations were on the way out anyway, and being replaced by what he calls local power relations.
		The later Foucault believed the political focus was ourselves, and so the individual, but didn’t really believe in the baggage that normally goes with this: atomic egoism, free will, and essentialism.
		Foucault had held that resistance was impossible from outside of the system, an anti-system movement would either be impotent (if it could really exist at all) or be recuperated back into it.

	Amazon.com: The Passion of Michael Foucault: Books: Jim Miller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Foucault's unorthodox approach to history is made clear, revealing a revolutionary philosophy based not on structured logic and reason, but growing instead from the realm of experience, in keeping with the "great Nietzschean quest [to] become what one is."
		For Foucault, then, the issue is the same, whatever the subject at hand: the concept of madness, our systems of language and knowledge, law and the punishment of crime, or the idea and expression of our individual sexuality.
		Miller ties in Foucault's thought and philosophies to the story of his life in a way that allows one to really understand more about what Foucault was writing and why, and provides context to said works in a way that allows the reader to grasp it.

	Roland Barthes -- Philosophy Books and Online Resources
		Michael Payne introduces the principal writings of Roland Barthes, Michael Foucault and Louis Althusser by means of a detailed focus on their common interest in the forms and conditions of knowledge.
		In his first three chapters, Payne examines in considerable detail brief texts by Barthes, Foucault, and Althusser that seem to be their own strategically designed introductions to their projects.
		Chapter 7 examines a specific text by each author writing on one of the visual arts, in an effort to investigate the assumption that knowledge - whether as theory, enlightenment, vision, illumination, or insight - is in some sense visual.

	the untimely past / foucault bibliography
		The Final Foucault is devoted to his last published (and some as yet unpublished) work and includes a translation of one of his last interview, a comprehensive bibliography of his publications, and a biographical chrnology.
		Foucault's interpretation of his own earlier work and his present manner of posing the question of power are critically analysed, and found to be defective in a way which allow room for the exploitation of his results by the Nouvelle Philosophie.
		These pieces, ranging over the entire spectum of his concerns, enable Foucault, in his most intimate and accessible voice, to interpret the conclusions of his research in each area and to demonstrate the contribution of each to the magnificent--and terrifying--portrait of society that he is patiently compiling.

	Semiotexte : Michael Foucault : Fearless Speech
		Comprised of six lectures delivered, in English, by Michel Foucault while teaching at Berkeley in the Fall of 1983, Fearless Speech was edited by Joseph Pearson and published in 2001.
		Reviewed by the author, it is the last book Foucault wrote before his death in 1984 and can be read as his last testament.
		The expression "fearless speech" is a rough translation of the Greek parrhesia, which designates those who take a risk to tell the truth; the citizen who has the moral qualities required to speak the truth, even if it differs from what the majority of people believe and faces danger for speaking it.

	3 Mapping the Subject
		In his study of the history of madness and prisons, Foucault developed his theory of disciplinary power, through which he argued that the identity for normal and abnormal subjects, such as the 'ideal citizen' or the 'mad person' was constructed through a broad Discursive system which he called Governmentality.
		Central to Foucault's theory is the question of Surveillance, which was represented best in the Panoptic, a unique "all seeing" space used in prisons, hospitals, factories and mental institutions.
		On the basis of Foucault's work we can hope to interpret (a) how the organisation, and use of space is central to how identity can be 'made' and (b) how correct and incorrect conducts for individuals, built around ideas about gender, race or age, have been constructed, or "formed and normed".

	Foucault In Cyberspace:
		Michel Foucault was one of the most interesting of post war French philosophers and social theorists.
		Above all, Foucault had the knack of posing problems in a new way -- re-orienting the inquiry in a way that was manifestly helpful for those who followed.
		Foucault pointed out the apparent conflict between a formal language of politics organised around relations between sovereign and citizen, expressed through rules backed by sanctions, and an actual experience of power being exercised through multitudinous non-state sources, often dependent on material or technological means of enforcement.
