[Foucault-L] new member intro and a query

<html>
<body>
<font size=3>Foucauldians:<br><br>
I just thought that I'd take a second to introduce myself: I do work in
interdisciplinary colonial and postcolonial New World studies;
specifically, I'm interested in the first couple of centuries after
Columbus and the ways in which Early Modern New World writing tried to
come to grips with the new.<br><br>
 From that, you can probably guess the nature of my query: I've become
more and more interested in Foucault as I've working on my projects. It's
now time for me to move from reading the occasional piece to a more
thorough-going reading of some of his major works (<i>Les mots et les
choses</i>, <i>L'archeologie du savoir</i>, <i>Surveiller et punir</i>,
and <i>La volonte du savoir</i> are currently on by bookshelf), and
that's pretty much my project for the next chunk of reading time. In
addition, though, and this is where my query originates, I was curious if
the listmembers were familiar with any interesting works that try to
bring Foucault to bear on colonial and postcolonial discourse in any
meaningful way. Obviously, I know about Said, and I've recently found out
about Ann Laura Stoler's work. Does anyone have any other
recommendations? <br><br>
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.<br><br>
Best,<br><br>
Keith<br><br>
