Description

This collection brings together seven key essays by Michel Foucault, translated into fluent English and accompanied by an introductory essay and notes. The selection covers language as a "perilous limit" of knowledge and identity, the methodological guidelines that underpin Foucault's approach to discourse, and the relationship between language and power in contemporary society.

Divided into three sections, these essays offer insights into the nature of language, its role in shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. They will be of particular interest to students of literature and those interested in continental structuralist criticism, but their relevance extends to fields such as anthropology, linguistics, sociology, and psychology.
