Foucault: ‘Pleasure happens, it passes between two, it flares and fades. It is event and invention. It is not the centre of an identity. Masculine/feminine pleasure: that makes no sense. Pleasure without an identity card; pleasure without a passport.’ I’m sure Bentham would have agreed.

A request - does anyone have access to the original 1977 German translation of Foucault's History of Sexuality Vol 1 - Der Wille zum Wissen, Sexualität und Wahrheit? I'd really appreciate a copy of the Vorwort zur deutschen Ausgabe. It has to be the 1st edition (and not the various translations).

Looking for something else, discovered that French philosophy doctoral defences were regularly listed in Les Études philosophiques. Here's Foucault's, which doesn't tell us anything we didn't know from Didier Eribon's biography, but was still interesting to see. www.jstor.org/stable/20843...

Doug Armato, who has helmed the 100-year-old press for 27 years, is retiring at the end of December. His tenure saw the expansion of the press’s list and the development of strong Indigenous studies, trade, and regional publishing programs.
