Re: [Foucault-L] Sociology Article

Dear Peter,

I found the article fascinating and responded to it from a spatial perspective in the following article:

Legg, S (2005) "Foucault's Population Geographies: Classifications, Biopolitics and Governmental Spaces" Population, Space and Place 11(3)137-156

The forthcoming Security, Territory, Population have a lot more to say about the emergence of population as an object of knowledge, with especially interesting comments on the concepts of multiplicity, civil society, milieus etc

Dear Folks:

Hello, I hope everyone's well. Just found this by accident
and was reminded of a discussion we were having about
Foucault's relationship to sociology:

Bruce Curtis, "Foucault on Governmentality and Population:
The Impossible Discovery"
Canadian Journal of Sociology 27, 4 (Fall 2002): 505-533

http://www.cjsonline.ca/articles/foucault.html

I haven't read it yet, but I will and I'd like to hear other
people's comments.
