A public seminar on Foucault's new publications, marking the 20th anniversary 
of his death.

London School of Economics, 16 September 2004 
with the support of the History of the Present Network

Foucault's published work has grown significantly in the past few years, in 
volume and in its scope, scale and complexity. This one-day pubic seminar will 
focus on what is new in seven recent and forthcoming volumes of Foucault's 
lectures, how they change our view of his enterprise, and what new spaces of 
enquiry and discussion they open up.

Books and topics discussed will include:

'Society Must be defended' : Class, race and war 
Security, Territory, Population and The Birth of Biopolitics: 
Governmentality, power and rights
The Abnormal and  Psychiatric Power : other genealogies of knowledge and norm
Hermeneutics of the Subject and Fearless Speech : self, truth and ethics

Contributors  will include:

Paul Patton (Professor of Philosophy, University of New South Wales): 
"Governmentality, Power and Rights"
James Tully (Professor of Philosophy and Political Science, University of 
Toronto): "Fearless speech: Parrhesia and the critical attitude"
Giovanna Procacci (Associate Professor of Sociology, Milan University)
Tom Osborne (Reader in Sociology, Bristol University).
Nikolas  Rose (Professor of Sociology, London School of Economics)
Graham Burchell (translator of Michel Foucault, The Abnormal and other works; 
freelance writer).
Colin Gordon (editor, Power/Knowledge; co-author and editor, The Foucault 
Effect): "Philosophy and 'political spirituality' in the later Foucault"
