PHIL322 - Foucault |
|||||||||
| Coordinator(s) | William Mcdonald (wmcdonal@une.edu.au) | |||||||||
| Unit Description |
The focus of the unit is Foucault's analysis of the production of knowledge as a form of power. This requires readings in Foucault's histories of madness, discipline and sexuality, together with his more explicitly epistemological and methodological works. The unit aims to set Foucault's work in the context of modern French philosophy and of structuralism, poststructuralism and anti-humanism. It considers its impact on recent feminism. |
