The Foucault Circle NL/BE and Radboud Center for Society and Philosophy arepleased to announce the second instalment of the Foucault after Foucault workshop. The ongoing release of Foucault’s unpublished materials continues to offer a treasure trove for scholarship. With each new publication, pressing questions arise: What do these texts mean for our understanding of Foucault’s work? Do they change anything? How might they open new avenues of inquiry?
On June 19th, we invite you to join us at Radboud University to reflect on these questions in relation to several of Foucault’s most recently published works. The presentations will be followed by drinks.
Keynote: Prof. Dianna Taylor
We are excited to announce that Prof. Dianna Taylor will provide the keynote address, titled: Diagnosing the Present: Contemporary Applications and Limitations of Foucault's Toolkit.
Dianna Taylor is Professor of Philosophy at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. She is author of Sexual Violence and Humiliation: A Foucauldian-Feminist Perspective (Routledge, 2020) editor of Michel Foucault: Key Concepts (Acumen, 2010), and co-editor of Feminist Politics: Identity, Difference, Agency (Rowman and Littlefield, 2007) and Feminism and the Final Foucault (University of Illinois, 2004). Her current research analyzes rage and counter-violence as feminist resources for resisting and preventing sexual violence and the sexual humiliation such violence produces.
