I am looking for examples of work that has been done using as a starting
point a throw away comment or couple of sentences in Foucault's work.
For example, one could imagine a whole study resulting from the following:
'... from the moment that people were no longer quite sure of having a soul
or that the body would return to life, more attention to mortal remains
became necessary; these became the only trace of our existence in the midst
of the world and in the midst of words.
In any case, it was in the nineteenth century that each person began to have
the right to his own little box for his own personal decomposition ...

Michel Foucault. (1998) [1984]. 'Different spaces'. In J. Faubion (ed.). Tr.
Robert Hurley and others. *Aesthetics, method and epistemology. The
Essential Works of Michel Foucault 1954-1984. Volume Two* Harmondsworth,
Middlesex: Allen Lane, Penguin, p. 181.
