This work begins with a series of historical documents, mainly official documents by the authorities, dealing with the Riviere case. James Miller, in his biography _The Passion of Michel Foucault_ quotes Foucault as arguing that this allowed "the power of derangement proper to a discourse like that of Riviere" to speak for itself' [see page 228]. Mark Kelly will be interested to hear that Miller goes on to establish a close connection between this type of methodological approach and that employed by the GIP
