Hey folks,
Two unresolved bibliographical questions have appeared on the list in
the last few weeks. (Forgive my delay in responding, but I read this
in digest format, and so tend to lag rather a bit behind the
discussions.) I hope that I can help out. =20
I. Several people have asked about Foucault's courses on parrhesia.
There are three such courses. =20
(1) "Le gouvernement de soi et des autres," Coll=E8ge de France, spring
1983, lectures in French. No transcripts exist, but audiotapes are
available at the Centre Michel Foucault in Paris. This course will
(eventually) be published in the Gallimard/Seuil series that began
this year with the 1976 course. About a third of the first lecture
was published in Magazine Litt=E9raire as "Qu'est-ce que les Lumi=E8res?"
(DE no. 351, English translations as "Kant on Enlightenment and
revolution" in Economy and Society 15:1 (Feb 1986) reprinted in M.
Gane & T. Johnson, eds., Foucault's new domains (Routledge, 1993); and
as "The art of telling the truth" in L. Kritzman, ed., Politics,
philosophy, culture (Routledge, 1988)), but this first lecture deals
with Kant's text "Was ist Aufkl=E4rung?", and does not discuss parrhesia
proper.
(2) "Discourse and truth: the problematization of parrhesia,"
University of California at Berkeley, fall 1983, lectures in English.
The transcript edited by Joe Pearson is unpublished but widely
circulated, and is also available at the Centre Michel Foucault, as
are the audiotapes.
(3) "Le gouvernement de soi et des autres: Le courage de la v=E9rit=E9,"
Coll=E8ge de France, spring 1984, lectures in French. This is a
continuation of the discussion of parrhesia begun in the 1983 course.
Again, no transcripts exist, but the audiotapes are available at the
Centre and the full text will eventually be published.
The UC Berkeley lectures duplicate, for the most part, the Coll=E8ge de
France lectures. Some themes are explored in more detail in the one
or the other, however, and both are worth checking out.
II. Reg Lilly provided the French citation for "Le souci de la
verite", DE no. 347 (v. 4, pp. 646-49). As far as I know, this piece
has not been translated into English. (It may be forthcoming in the
latter two volumes of the New Press's Dits et Ecrits translation.)
Best, Richard
