Hi Clare
Among many books in my bibliography/course lists, these seem the most
relevant to what you want (excluding the very obvious)
James Bernauer, Michel Foucault's Force of Flight: Towards an Ethics of
Thought, Atlantic Highlands, N.J.: Humanities Press, 1990.
Arnold I Davidson, (ed.), Foucault and his Interlocutors, Chicago:
University of Chicago Press, 1997.
Mitchell Dean, Critical and Effective Histories: Foucault's Methods and
Historical Sociology, London: Routledge, 1994.
Dominique Lecourt, Marxism and Epistemology: Bachelard, Canguilhem,
Foucault, translated by Ben Brewster, London: NLB, 1975
Gary Gutting, Michel Foucault?s Archaeology of Scientific Reason, Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press, 1994.
I especially like Bernauer and Gutting
Then there is almost certainly stuff of use in Barry Smart (ed.), Michel
Foucault (1) Critical Assessments, London: Routledge, Three Volumes, 1994;
Michel Foucault (2) Critical Assessments, London: Routledge, Four Volumes,
1995.
If your students can read French then Eribon's other book (not the
biography) is
Didier Eribon, Michel Foucault et ses contemporains, Paris: Fayard, 1994.
And forthcoming allegedly in August is
Alan Rosenberg & Alan Milchman (eds.), Foucault and Heidegger: Critical
Encounters, Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2001.
Hope there's something useful here
Best wishes
Stuart
