Feminists are, surprisingly, not much in evidence. The positions taken by Fish in most of these essays are therefore fairly predictable given this new identification, but before ...”

“... With these words, Darmon carefully places himself in the tradition of the late Michel Foucault, his history of madness as well as his more recent, regrettably unfinished history of sexuality. But the book does not live up to the expectations aroused by the beginning. Trial by Impotence deals in turn with the canon lawyers’ categories of ...”

“... Trombley writes. The comment has the fashionable aura of R.D. Laing, Thomas Szasz and Michel Foucault, but although he makes vague gestures at all three, Trombley does not seem to comprehend the implications of their arguments. For what follows from his comparison of madness and crime is the conclusion that Virginia Woolf should be considered innocent ...”

And they did so not so much by avoiding Aron’s question as by insisting that it was not the question to ask. The PCF in France, the Communist Parties in Italy and, later, in Portugal and Spain were all, like Aron, irredeemably ...”

In several passages which remind one of Foucault, though he is never mentioned, we are told that by the end of the 18th century one penal regime was rapidly giving way to another. The older forms of punishment were public and violent. They attacked the body ... The essence of the new cause was to ...”

In a quite different tradition, that encouraged by Michel Foucault, one reads of an ‘historical a priori’ (an idea adapted from Mauss), which could perfectly well characterise part of Fleck’s notion of a thought-style. Douglas is, however, quite unusual. Although she writes in a context of this kind of talk, she ...”

Her second novel, The Autograph Man, suggested she’d been steeping in Bellow and Roth. To Wood, she still sounded too much like Wallace, and his review, in this paper, was harsh enough ...”

Zambreno doesn’t write with the measured voice of someone who can count on being listened to, but with the wail of someone confined to a shed. She wonders if she’s writing ...”

“... Roche), he now can see that all the high-flown references he had barely understood – to Barthes, Foucault, Derrida, Lacan – were no more than intellectualising flim-flammery, rehashed versions of commentaries on commentaries. By learning to play his own private game, he has opened up the public game of others. It isn’t enough. This sort of hackwork in ...”

In Powering Empire, Barak draws on Foucault to show that in the 19th-century British Empire, coal (and thus steam power) figured as independent of the human labourers that mined it and fuelled the boiler fires.
