I have been listening to the lecture on ?The Culture of the Self,? that
Foucault presented at Berkeley Language Centre, 12 April 1983:
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Speech/VideoTest/audiofiles.html
In this lecture, and elsewhere, Foucault uses the term actualité, and I was
wondering if this term has the same kind of connotations as the English word
"actuality," or whether there was some meaning specific to the French that
is not captured by, and thus not translatable into, English.
In addition, I was wondering whether what Foucault is trying to capture via
the term actualité, is something akin to what Heidegger was trying to get at
with his notion of Being?
Regards - Kevin.
