Sexuality - (Foucault's Early Lectures and Manuscripts) by Michel Foucault (Paperback)

Foucault's Lectures on Sexuality - Unlocking the Evolution of Foucault's Thought on Sexuality Experience the groundbreaking lectures of Michel Foucault, one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, as he delves into the history of sexuality.

These lectures, previously unpublished in English, offer a unique glimpse into the development of Foucault's thought on sexuality and its intersection with power, knowledge, and desire. Foucault's Lectures on Sexuality covers two courses taught by Foucault in the 1960s - one at the University of Clermont-Ferrand in 1964 and the other at the experimental university at Vincennes in 1969.

These lectures showcase Foucault's theories reoriented by the events of May 1968, as he refocuses on the regulatory nature of the discourse of sexuality and how it serves economic, social, and political ends. Explore the creators of political and literary utopias in the 19th and 20th centuries, from Sade to Fourier to Marcuse, who attempted to integrate "natural" sexualities, including transgressive forms, into social and economic life.

Discover how Foucault elaborates a double critique of the naturalization and liberation of sexuality through these lectures. With an introduction by Bernard Harcourt and insightful commentary from prominent scholars such as Paul B.
