[Foucault-L] Foucault-Colonialism

Professor:
You may well know these titles, but it seems like Ann Stoler provides really useful starting points on this issue. Try her
_Race and the Education of Desire: Foucault's History of Sexuality and the Colonial Order of Things_ or the more recent _Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power: Race and the Intimate in Colonial Rule_.
Best regards

My interest in Foucault has sparked by archival research into the
disciplinary discourses of the colonial state in India, esp. Punjab. One
can see a full scale deployment of human sciences in the construction of
colonial subject. But question remains, to what extend the forms of
subjectification and the project of knowlege production diverge. With
Foucault never entering a direct analysis of colonialism, how one is to
understand the specificity of colonial domination in the non-western world?

best, no
