[Foucault-L] Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary andFoucault

The closest linkage between Godard and Foucault could be made in ICI ET AILLEURS where the relation between image and sound is elaborated in terms of power, control, and production of reality (if not subjectivity): This 1971-1973 reflection engages with popularized early Foucauldian themes elaborated in Les Mots et Les Choses (1966) and L'Archeologie du Savoir (1969)--as well as with many other philosophical persepctives of the time. The later Godard engages more with Derrida and Deleuze (and Deleuze propose various interesting obervations on Godard's work--especially in the "Thought and Cinema" chapter of his 2-volumes on Cinema).
