In preparation of the second seminar, we encourage you to visit the Foucault 13/13 blog. You will find articles introducing and discussing Penal Theories and Instititions (1971-1972), as well as reading suggestions. Please join in the conversation by commenting on the articles.
This second session will take place at the Casa Hispánica, 612 West 116th Street, room 201 at 6:15 pm sharp. You can get to Casa Hispánica following these directions.
There will be a live, active “live-stream and tweeting” room (the “LST room”). For this session, the LST Room will be located in 612 West 116th Street, Casa Hispánica, Biblioteca Gonzalo Sobejano, room 206. You can learn about the LST room here. We are using adjoining rooms (seminar and LST) so that we can fill the seminar room to maximum capacity. For the Twitter conversation, we will be using the hashtag #Foucault1313.
If you would like to watch the seminar elsewhere, the seminar will be live-streaming and accessible here, on the multimedia page of the website of the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought. If you have any problems with this site, you can live-stream directly from this portal: www.totalwebcasting.com/live/columbialaw. Please remember to refresh your browser if you experience any problem. After the seminar, each seminar will also be available 24 hours later at the same websites.
The seminar discussion will assume familiarity with the volume, but will focus on the following chapters:
- Lessons of January 19 and 26, 1972
- Lessons of February 2 and 9, 1972
- Lessons of March 1 and 8, 1972
- “Truth and Juridical Forms.”
Book Culture on 112th Street and Albertine on 79th and 5th Avenue should carry copies of the French edition.
