Dear All,
I wrote down the following quote a while back from an article or book by Foucault but I cannot remember the source.
Could anyone help? I did not it as being a 1979 reference but have no idea if that refers to the original or translated
version. I may have even got it from a book that refers to the Foucault quote.
"The things which the government is concerned about are men, but men in their relations, their links, their
imbrications with those other things which are wealth, resources, means of subsistence, the territory with its specific
qualities, climate, irrigation, fertility, etc; men in their relation to that other kind of things which are customs,
habits, ways of doing and think, etc; lastly, men in their relation to that other kind of things again which are
accidents and misfortunes such as famine, epidemic, death, etc."(Foucault 1979, p.11)
