hi colin,

the probelm i see with my thesis is that, due to the fact that i come from
a 1970s comprehensive education at a school which never really pushed
second languages, i can read neither french nor german. and whilst i don't
subscribe to the opinion that one has to read foucault in the original
french, i certainly think it has its advantages (as stuart elden's book on
spatial history attest to). and so the materials i am drawing upon to
write the stuff on governmentality, and note the linkages between this as
the military model, are the same materials that dean, rose, etal have been
drawing upon. hence my original question as to how this secondary
literature relates to the 1978-9 courses.

it will certainly be a very interesting time when these two lecture
courses are finally released in english translation (any idea when this
might be).

regards - kevin.
