Re: [Foucault-L] my question in foucault list

the summary of the Cours of 1982 is in Dits et Écrits, volume IV no. 323
the Cours of 1983 does not have a summary, also see the Situation du cours, p. 351, note 16 in the full edition of the 1983 Cours Le gouvernement de soi et des autres

That may be true for 1984, but not for 1982 and 1983. Apparently Foucault
was very disciplined submitting his summaries, which certainly were after
the fact, and sometimes do not really reflect the actual lectures.

Thanks in any case.
