Here
we highlight this chunky book, of nearly 800 pages, because it's not as easy to
find as some other books about Foucault, but it's got some great stuff in it.
Edited by the delightfully interesting and energetic Clare O'Farrell of Queensland
University of Technology, and published by QUT in 1997, Foucault's Legacy
brings together 73 (count 'em!) articles which link Foucault with everything from
art and architecture to management and public relations! There are more 'traditional'
chapters on health and psychoanalysis, some good stuff on Foucault and feminism,
and philosophy... The list goes on! Two unusual and interesting chapters on the
marketing of Foucault definitely add to the mix. And the book is worth getting
hold of for O'Farrell's introduction alone, where she describes her experiences
as a research student studying Foucault in Paris -- whilst he was still alive
-- including accounts of his lectures and an interview at his apartment. Fascinating
stuff.
