The book studies Michel Foucault's turn towards the analysis of power between the late sixties and mid-seventies. Using archives from the Bibliothèque nationale de France and writings from the period, Elden shows that 'Vigilar y castigar' is the visible part of a broader project on prison, madness, medicine and health.
Published in 2017; includes bibliographical references (pp. 190-218) and index. The volume's sections address measurement, inquiry, examination, madness, discipline and illness.
For readers of philosophy, political theory and intellectual history interested in Michel Foucault and in France in the sixties and seventies.
