"What Foucault and many intellectuals were struggling against after 1968 is the very notion and entire conceptual structure of revolution."

[Mitchell Dean @MitchellMDean]

@phdskat I like it, but there's always a touch of irony and affection when I use it, so you shouldn't worry from an international perspective.

A Very French Tempest in a Turtleneck - The New York Times “Let them wear cashmere” - a good line despite its source. There’s a PhD on “French roll-neck neoliberalism from Foucault to Macron” in this. https://t.co/1xo13sZmB0

A number of interesting books on Foucault and new English translations of his work have come out recently. I have commissioned reviews of a few of them for CPT.

Up first, Nicole Yokum reviews The last man takes LSD:

Having just spent my third summer in Napoli and it’s environs, I am not sure I would recommend Benjamin’s essay on that city, but another lovely ���@VersoBooks⁩ from its book club

[Prof. dr. Luiza Bialasiewicz @bialasiewicz]

1/ watching the protests against #greenpass in Italy & France, it is important to distinguish legitimate concerns regarding its potential discriminatory effects + questions of data privacy/governance from violent appeals for 'personal sovereignty' from 'sanitary dictatorship'

[Prof. dr. Luiza Bialasiewicz @bialasiewicz]

this is unacceptable, but for a year now anti-vax groups in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands have been wielding the star at protests, with little public outrage, legitimised by figures like Giorgio Agamben who compares the #greenpass to a 'virtual yellow star' - reagire, si!
