Power/Knowledge: Selected Interviews and Other Writings, 1972-1977 (repost)

Power/Knowledge: Selected Interviews and Other Writings, 1972-1977 By Michel Foucault, Colin Gordon
Publisher: Pan th eon 1980 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 039473954X , 0394513576 | PDF | 39 MB

Michel Foucault has become famous for a series of books that have permanently altered our understanding of many institutions of Western society. He analyzed mental institutions in the remarkable Madness and Civilization; hospitals in The Birth of the Clinic; prisons in Discipline and Punish; and schools and families in The History of Sexuality. But the general reader as well as the specialist is apt to miss the consistent purposes that lay behind these difficult individual studies, thus losing sight of the broad social vision and political aims that unified them.
