hi colin,
thanks for responding to my question.
your answer to which was kind of what i expected.
in your opinion, then, it would be safe to say that Pasquino's account of police and Burchell's account of liberalism in The Foucault Effect, are reasonable close to the spirit of foucault's 1978 and 1979 lecture?
as for the contemporary stuff: i was referring to text by the likes of barry, osborne, dean, rose, et al. i think that these writings are, without question, valuable, interesting, and in some instances quite a challenge to much political thought.
the question i raised is in relation to a thesis i am writing which is comparing war and conduct as two grids of intelligibility for understanding social order evidenced in foucault's writing of the mid-to-late 1970s. seeing if it is possible to juxtapose these grids one on the other. and seeing how this juxtaposition can be used to say something new about freedom - or rather, the specifically liberal codification of freedom as "liberty."
thus my rationale for asking the question is not so much how faithful this, mostly english and australian, work is to foucault's lectures, but more how well it expresses or articulate the notion of conduct that foucault first raised in these lectures (i.e. the lecture on governmentality in the foucault effect).
thanks once again for your response - kevin.
p.s. if you know of any texts that look at war and government in foucault than i would be more than happy to receive references.
