Re: undergrad texts on foucault?

Hi all,


I agree with the suggestion that Foucault should (and can) be read by
undergrads.  In the third year course that  I have just finished teaching,
I insisted on my students reading selections from originals (well,
translations) by Foucault, as well as NIetzsche, Barthes, Derrida, and
others.  In order to help with this, I had a one hour weekly reading
session.  We all brought the photocopied readings, and went over one essay
in each session.  Thus, as a way of introducing each author, I spent some
time reading with  my students, asking them what passages meant, and having
them stop reading when they were lost.  I found this valuable both for my
students and for myself.  I just finished marking their final papers last
night, and I am very impressed with what senior undergrads can do if
expectations are set high from the start.
