You might look at the work of Barry Franklin in the US- it is not
theoretically what you are looking for but it is related.  Also, in Britain,
the work of Ross should be relevant.

Dear all

this is my first posting on the list.  I am a doctoral student (among
other things) interested in Foucault's methods as applied to the field
of learning disability, or mental retardation in the US.  I am
especially intereseted in the treatment of idiocy in the
nineteenth-century.  If anyone else on the list is interested in a
similar area then I'd be very interested to hear from you.

Best wishes.

Murray
