I've been re-reading this beautiful text; as Deleuze remarked, it is indeed
a masterpiece. I was wondering, for I was never able to find out myself,
if anyone on the list knows why, in the end, the projected volume for which
this essay was an introduction, never appeared? The essay was written in
1977, and given the depth of wonder and passion with which Foucault writes,
one wouldn't expect that he simply got bored of it. I'm just curious.
Though a volume on a similar theme appeared in 1982 (_Le Desordre des
familles_), _La Vie des homme infames_ was supposedly a separate project.
best wishes/sincerely,
