Yes, indeed! I am presently trying to cope with the frustration I
experience when discussing the 'Foucault' presented by those who have never
opened a single of F's books. In regard to interviews as a source of
clarification, don't forget:
** Language, Counter-memory, Practice (1977, ed. Donald Bouchard and Simon
Sherry)
** Remarks on Marx (1977/1991, Interviews with Duccio Trombadori)
** Power/Knowledge (1980, ed. Colin Gordon)
I believe there is also another collection called 'Foucault Live'
