Reviews
Abnormal make[s] a compelling case that practices of confinement, medico-legal judgement, and sexual normalization have been constituted within struggles for scientific power and control. * Notre Dame Philosophical Review *
The volume allows us to observe Foucault in the laboratory, at the threshold of a major re-orientation...indispensable reading for anybody interested in the history of medicine, psychiatry, sexuality, or the fluctuations of Foucault's thinking. * Medical History Journal *
These lecture courses are valuable for Foucault scholarship not only because they supplement the arguments given by Foucault in Discipline and Punish and The History of Sexuality but also because there are topics that come to the foreground in the lectures in a way that goes beyond the published texts. * Foucault Studies Journal *
