Description:		Forty years after his death in 1984, Michel Foucault continues to be considered one of the world’s most prominent and influential thinkers across a variety of disciplines, including philosophy, literary studies, art history, cultural studies, sociology, cultural anthropology, gender studies, history, musicology, and visual/film studies. We will examine Foucault’s major works, such as Madness and Civilization, The Order of Things, and Discipline and Punish, the interviews and essays of Power/Knowledge, as well as selections from the recently published Collège de France lectures, to understand his profound effect on the ethical and political transformations of “Theory” or “Critical Theory.” We will also examine Foucault’s thought in relation to prominent philosophers and critics, including Judith Butler, Derrida, Rorty, Habermas, and Hayden White. Conducted in English.
