PhD @CamHistory: Foucault and 70s French thought. Mostly off Twitter for now so sorry if I don't get back to you!

[Luke Ilott @luke_ilott]

Delighted to be able to share my first academic article, available now at @PoliticalTheory, which uncovers the coalitional project behind Michel Foucault's political thought in the 1970s. It's essentially a response to this meme

A really incredible quote from the Home Secretary in this Telegraph story on AI and face recognition 😮

So much about the immigration and asylum system is just completely unknown to people day to day. Some examples:

Had no idea that the late Charles Mills wrote a long article on the Lord of the Rings: “ This previously-unpublished essay by the late Charles W. Mills (1951–2021) seeks to demonstrate the racially-structured character of the universe created by J. R. R. Tolkien in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Written long before the popular film series, the essay critically examines Tolkien's novels and comments on the nature of fictional creation. Mills argues that Tolkien designs a racial hierarchy in the novels that recapitulates the central racist myth of European thought.” https://t.co/rthIQnBfsZ

Visiting the Centre Pompidou in Paris recently, I came across something rather unexpected: A monumentally sized painting of some of the central “French thinkers” of the 20th century which depicts them as Soviet apparatchiks. As it turns out, the painting only resurfaced...(1/16)

[Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins @daniel_dsj2110]

This will be an important book:

Walter Lippmann: An Intellectual Biography
Tom Arnold-Forster
The life and ideas of one of the twentieth century’s leading political thinkers

Really good overview of how things stand at the start of the Starmer administration, from James Butler @piercepenniless in the London Review of Books @LRB. Three standout passages here — link to the whole piece in the next tweet. 1/2

[Luke Ilott @luke_ilott]

Re-reading @cjbickerton and @cinvernizzi1983 's Technopopulism today, which feels very relevant in understanding Starmer, and offers a powerful explanation for the unease so many of us feel despite the election result

[Bernard E. Harcourt @BernardHarcourt]

Collège de France is placing online all existing audio recordings of Foucault's annual lectures on "Society Must Be Defended," "Birth of Biopolitics," "Security, Territory, Population," "The Courage of Truth," etc. (https://t.co/2QPtEndtDQ). Info here: https://t.co/299exqy4Yf

[Bernard E. Harcourt @BernardHarcourt]

Yes indeed @TPBlake @AlexToropoc the new edition of Foucault's unpublished lectures and writings on Nietzsche @EditionsduSeuil is now available in French in bookstores all over France. Pub site: https://t.co/PemA8MZzV0. Here it is on front table & window at the Librairie Vrin...

Important judgment from the Divisional Court
The Government's attempt to define "serious disruption" in the parts of the Public Order Act 1986 which give police powers to impose restrictions on processions and assemblies was unlawful because:
(a) The regulations which attempted to make the change went further than the Public Order Act 1986, the primary legislation, would permit (so "ultra vires" - outside of the scope of the power to make regulations) (Ground 1)
(b) The consultation process was insufficient (Ground 4)
The other, more ambitious, constitutional grounds (2 and 3) failed but the net result is the regulations are unlawful.
The regulations are, though, still in force pending an appeal (to the Court of Appeal) which will be expedited.

Well done to all involved including @judebunting and @thebrieftweet @libertyhq @publiclawprojct

The news will be all about Galloway today - that’s why the government published these 13 immigration inspection reports in one go yesterday, to bury them.

But the scale & degree of chaos, mismanagement, dereliction of duty & incompetence they reveal is astounding, truly #r4today
