Description
Foucault's Strange Eros by Lynne Huffer is a deeply original exploration of the philosopher Michel Foucault's erotic ethics. Huffer reimagines Foucault as a Sapphic poet, uncovering how his thought erodes the interiority of the thinking subject. Through a series of encounters with fragmented texts, including works by Freud and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Huffer stages an archive of literary and theoretical readings that reveal the eroticization of violence and the historicity of madness. This book conceives of ethics as experiments in living that work poetically to make the present strange. By performing the ethics she describes in her own practice of experimental writing, Huffer crafts a unique perspective on Foucault's thought, one that dissolves into Sapphic brackets, opening a space for the strange and self-hollowing speech.
