Foucault-L mail-list

Hi Tetz

I am currently in Japan but I am Australian and speak very little  
Japanese, chotto chotto.  I am based on Toyama-ken at the moment.

I do know the translator of Althusser and Virilio into Japanese,  
Yoshi Ichida, who is Professor of French at Kobe University,  But I  
presume you already know him.  He can tell you just how little  
Japanese I can speak!  There is a Japanese Foucault scholar at the  
University of Tokyo whom my friend Warren Montag recommended I  
contact, but so far I have not made contact.
