Geraldine,
At least for the relativism part, try Martin Kusch, Foucault's Strata and
Fields (Dordrecht: Kluwer, 1991) - I'm not sure if you'll like it but at
least you department might. :-) It contains some discussion of Foucault's
"relativism" and good arguments against analytic "arguments" against
"relativism".
* I believe there is a book called "Power/Knowledge", edited by Colin
* Gordon, but I can't get a copy of it in the library or the bookshops.
My library directory shows: Michel Foucault, Power/Knowledge: Selected
Interviews and Other Writings 1972 - 1977 (Brighton: Harverter, 1980) - so
it could be out of print, although that would be curious.
Regards,
Marko
