Hi All,
I would say that the best example of this is embodied in _I, Pierre
Riviere...._ a dossier which was complied by Foucault and some his
students from a two-year long seminar at the College de France. 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work begins with a series of historical documents, mainly official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
