As a transformative thinker of the twentieth century, whose
work spanned all branches of the humanities, Michel Foucault
had a complex and profound relationship with literature. And
yet this critical aspect of his thought, because it was
largely expressed in speeches and interviews, remains
virtually unknown to even his most loyal readers. This book
brings together previously unpublished transcripts of oral
presentations in which Foucault speaks at length about
literature and its links to some of his principal themes:
madness, language and criticism, and truth and desire.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 5px 0px; color: rgb(27, 26,
26); font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">The associations
between madness and language—and madness and
silence—preoccupy Foucault in two 1963 radio broadcasts,
presented here, in which he ranges among literary examples
from Cervantes and Shakespeare to Diderot before taking up
questions about Artaud’s literary correspondence, lettres de
cachet, and the materiality of language. In his lectures on
the relations among language, the literary work, and
literature, he discusses Joyce, Proust, Chateaubriand,
Racine, and Corneille, as well as the linguist Roman
Jakobson. What we know as literature, Foucault contends,
begins with the Marquis de Sade, to whose
writing—particularly La Nouvelle Justine and Juliette—he
devotes a full two-part lecture series focusing on literary
self-consciousness.</p>
