The first part of the volume comprises five lectures given at the University of Clermont-Ferrand in 1964 to psychology students. The second part is Foucault’s course ‘The Discourse of Sexuality’, given at the experimental University of Vincennes in 1969 in the philosophy department. We explore both the themes of the lectures, and the important editorial materials provided by Claude-Olivier Doron which situate these themes in relation to recent developments in the history and philosophy of biology, gender and sexuality. These lectures provide some important and surprising additions to Foucault’s more familiar interest in sexuality, with discussion of plant and animal biology, sex differentiation, the question of sexual behaviour, perversion and infantile sexuality.

It seemed to me that Antigone might work as a counterfigure to the trend championed by recent feminists to seek the backing and authority of the state to implement feminist policy aims (2000a, 1). 4. Butler suggests that the point of Antigone's defiance may be missed in these contemporary feminist accounts (2000a, 1). But can Antigone be seen as someone who challenges the state in any simple way? This, it seems, was Butler's initial aim, and had been claimed by Elshtain (1982), but when researching the book she found "something different from what I had first anticipated" (2000a, 2).2 For Butler-and this in some sense is the heart of the book-the representative function of Antigone herself is in crisis, and therefore she is problematic as a representative for different political aims (2000a, 2).3 Despite claims that Antigone represents kinship, and the importance of the family (

As Heidegger's critical writings on the regime showed, one of the particular issues was the way in which what he calls machination and later technology depended upon a particular notion of metaphysics, a particular casting of being, that is, to be is to be calculable. Nazism seeks control of the earth in a way that both makes possible and exceeds its quest for world domination. Following a discussion of the notion of Gleichschaltungsynchronization or political coordination and its ontological underpinnings, the reading moves to two key examples: the calculation of race in the Nuremburg laws; and the calculation of space in geopolitics. These come together in the racialized notion of Lebensraum. Although this paper takes its point of departure from Heidegger, it focuses on the historical period at hand in order to illuminate both a particular instance of the politics of calculation, and a calculative understanding of the political.

The aim is not to define territory, in the sense of a single meaning; but rather to indicate the issues at stake in grasping how it has been understood in different historical and geographical contexts. It does so first by critically interrogating work on territoriality, suggesting that neither the biological nor the social uses of this term are particularly profitable ways to approach the historically more specific category of ‘territory’. Instead, ideas of ‘land’ and ‘terrain’ are examined, suggesting that these political-economic and political-strategic relations are essential to understanding ‘territory’, yet ultimately insufficient. Territory needs to be understood in terms of its relation to space, itself a calculative category that is dependent on the existence of a range of techniques. Ultimately this requires rethinking unproblematic definitions of territory as a ‘bounded sp...

There are a number of reasons why this reassessment is needed: the lectures are finally about to be published in English translation; careful philological work in German has exposed how corrupted the standard text of the lectures is; and philosophers are finally beginning to critically integrate an understanding of the Geography into their overall assessment of Kant's work. English speaking geographers will therefore soon have access to the lectures in a way that they have not done before, but they need to be aware both of the problems of the edition being translated and the work philosophers have undertaken on their situation in Kant's work and their impact. More broadly, the reassessment requires us to reconsider the position Kant occupies in geography as a discipline as a whole. The article examines the history of the lectures and their publication in some detail; discusses Kant's purpose in giving them; and looks at the way in which he structured geographical knowledge and understood its relation to history and philosophy. In terms of the broader focus particular attention is given to the topics of race and space. While these lectures are undoubtedly of largely historical interest, it is for precisely that reason that an examination of them and Kant's thought more generally is of relevance today to the history of the discipline of geography.

It begins by situating the course within the wider context of Foucault’s work, notably in relation to Histoire de la folie and the move of the early 1970s to the conceptual tools of power and genealogy. It is argued that Le pouvoir psychiatrique is a rewriting of the last part of Histoire de la folie from the perspective of these new conceptual tools. Analysis then moves to more thematic concerns, showing how this course enriches our understanding of Foucault’s work on the sources of power, the individual and the family, and the spaces of the disciplinary society. Particular focus is given to the role of the army, public health, the hospital, children, women and hospital architecture. The article concludes by showing how the themes of this course, while not worked up for publication themselves, point the way to concerns in Foucault’s later work, notably The History of Sexuality...

It begins with a discussion of writings translated into English in the late 1980s—the Critique of Cynical Reason and Thinker on Stage—but then shows how Sloterdijk's work has developed and changed over the last two decades. Particular attention is paid to his writings on Europe and politics; the three-volume book Sphären [Spheres]; and his most recent writings on globalisation. The suggestion is that with the extensive forthcoming programme of translations and renewed interest in his work the scene is set for an effective ‘second coming’ of Sloterdijk. This theme issue of Society and Space contributes to that work of translation and interpretation.

He... more Kostas Axelos was born in 1924 in Greece, but has lived almost all of his adult life in Paris. He moved to France in 1945, after the defeat of the communist forces in the Greek Civil War. He was under sentence of death at the time, and fled on the same boat as Cornelius Castoriadis and Kostas Papa|« oannou (on their relation see Premat 2004). Studying at the Sorbonne, Axelos wrote his two doctoral theses on Heraclitus and Karl Marx, both of which later appeared as books (1961; 1962), while translating Martin Heidegger, Georg Luka¨cs, and Karl Korsch. The combination is revealing: Axelos was an unorthodox Marxist who believed that Marx's works could be brought into productive relation with Heidegger, which would simultaneously allow a political critique of Heidegger's own work and action. In the book on Marx, for example, he reads the problematic of technology through his writings in implicit dialogue with Heidegger. He is best known for his works on the concept of the world, particularly the 1969 book Le jeu du monde; as one of the editors of the journal Arguments ; and as editor of the book series of the same name published by Les E è ditions de Minuit. A range of figures of the French intellectual establishment published in the pages of the journal, including Henri Lefebvre, Maurice Blanchot, Gilles Deleuze, Claude Lefort, and Roland Barthes. The book series included works by Lefebvre, Luka¨cs, Deleuze, Blanchot, Georges Bataille, as well as almost all of Axelos's own works. Add to this his personal friendships with many of those already mentioned including Heidegger, Lefebvre, and Deleuze, and with Pablo Picasso, Jacques Lacan, and Jacques Derrida, and we get some sense of his central role in French, and indeed European, intellectual life for over fifty years. Axelos is, however, much less well known in the English-speaking world. His book on Marx appeared in translation (1976), but none of his other full-length works has, and only a couple of other pieces are accessible to Anglophone readers (1968; 1979; 1980). There has been little analysis of his works, aside from the introduction to the book on Marx (Bruzina, 1976), and some helpful comments in Mark Poster's Existential Marxism in Postwar France (1975). Even the references by French thinkers who appreciated his work are marginal in English translations (

This collection of manuscripts, written between 1936 and 1938, is extremely important in terms of the development of Heidegger's work, his political career, and his rethinking of the relation between space and time. This rethinking is one of the key themes discussed, along with the political and geographical implications of Heidegger's notion of calculation. In order to situate these insights, I first provide a discussion of the context within which Heidegger wrote the work. After outlining this biographical, intellectual, and political situation, I move to the geographical contributions, suggesting ways in which Heidegger's thought can impact on our thinking of environment, nature, globalisation, and measurement.

Foucault notes that he has undertaken a genealogy of the modern state and its different apparatuses from the perspective of a history of governmental reason, taking into account society, economy, population, security, and liberty. In the “Governmentality” lecture—the fourth of the first course—Foucault says that the series of the title—that is, security, territory, population—becomes “security, population, government”. In other words, territory is removed and government appended. And, yet, the issue of territory continually emerges only to be repeatedly marginalised, eclipsed, and underplayed. A key concern of the course is the politics of calculation which Foucault discusses through the development of political arithmetic, population statistics, and political economy. Explicitly challenging Foucault's readings of Machiavelli and the Peace of ...

The first is that states should not seek to promote border changes or secessionist movements within other states, or attempt to seize territory by force. The second meaning is the standard idea that within its own borders, within its territory, a state is sovereign. The second of these two meanings has come under increased pressure in recent years, in part in relation to international intervention for ‘humanitarian’ reasons, and even more so since September 11 2001. And yet the other meaning is being stressed even more explicitly, often at the same time and in the same places that the second meaning is being challenged. This paper considers various historical and contemporary examples, and suggests that the two meanings of territorial integrity are increasingly in tension.

Rather than a wholesale rejection of the dialectic, these authors attempt to think how poststructuralism might force an encounter with it, retaining yet transforming it. Drawing on Deleuze's characterization of abstract thought as dealing with concepts that “like baggy clothes, are much too big”, and Bergson's complaint that dialectics are “too large … not tailored to the measurements of the reality in which we live”, the paper moves to thinking about the relation of dialectics, measure, and world. It does so through an interrogation of a nondialectical materialism, that of Alain Badiou and his ex-student Quentin Meillassoux, particularly Meillassoux's critique of correlationism. One of the key issues raised is the return of mathematics, and its embrace within some aspects of human geography. Raising the question of how this may reverse some of the gains ...

The key question is the role of place or site in the poem in general terms, and the more specific issue of land. The article first analyses three significant sites in the narrative — the locations of the battles between Beowulf and Grendel, Grendel’s mother and the dragon. Each of these places — the hall, the mere, and the burial-mound — are shot through with powerful emotive, elemental, symbolic and material geographies. Analysis then moves to the politics of land, a resource which is gifted, distributed, disputed and fought over. While part of a larger project which seeks to look at the conceptual and historical relation between land, terrain and territory, this article offers a more modest focused study of a single text from a particular period.
