Thirty years after Foucault’s death, this conference undertakes a reassessment of his career and legacy. As the College de France lectures and other works have become available, how do we understand him differently? With the interval of time, what more do we see about his intellectual milieu, his engagement with the times, the prescience of his analysis, or the divergence of our own moment from his?
Open To: General Public
