Hi Ashley,

This is quite a wide field; you might, if you haven't already, take a look
at David Hoy's book: _Foucault: A Critical Reader_; at Martin Jay's _Force
Fields_; at Jay's _Downcast Eyes_. Also, Nancy Fraser has written a good
deal about the Foucault-Habermas issue. One of her early pieces is in the
journal _Ethics_ (October 1985). Her larger work is _Unruly Practices_
published in 1989. And then, of course, Habermas writes on Foucault in the
twelve lectures: _The Philosophical Discourses of Modernity_.

If you are looking at something specific that has struck you here, let me
know.

best,
