The Unexpected in Oral History
How is an oral historian to react when the unexpected emerges, whether in field research or interview analysis? Answers tend to be scattered throughout the scholarly literature or confined to backstage conversations. This book brings the unexpected to the center of the scene and promotes a collective reflection about ways of dealing with uneasy encounters, surprises, and interviews that seem to have gone off the rails. The contributors come from a dozen countries, especially Brazil, where a classic piece about a “great liar” paved the way for this discussion. Rather than eccentric descriptions of unusual situations, these chapters evoke a dense web of reflections about dialogue, the production of oral sources, and the complexities of personal narratives. Theoretically informed but written in an engaging language, the book presents readers with fascinating case studies of the eruptions of the unexpected that occur in oral history research.
The Archaeology of Foucault
On 20 May 1961 Foucault defended his two doctoral theses; on 2 December 1970 he gave his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France. Between these dates, he published four books, travelled widely, and wrote extensively on literature, the visual arts, linguistics, and philosophy. He taught both psychology and philosophy, beginning his explorations of the question of sexuality. Weaving together analyses of published and unpublished material, this is a comprehensive study of this crucial period. As well as Foucault's major texts, it discusses his travels to Brazil, Japan, and the USA, his time in Tunisia, and his editorial work for Critique and the complete works of Nietzsche and Bataille. It ...
The Lives of Michel Foucault
The classic biography of the radical French philosopher with a new afterword by acclaimed Foucault scholar Stuart Elden. When he died of an AIDS-related condition in 1984, Michel Foucault had become the most influential French philosopher since the end of World War II. His powerful studies of the creation of modern medicine, prisons, psychiatry, and other methods of classification have had a lasting impact on philosophers, historians, critics, and novelists the world over. But as public as he was in his militant campaigns on behalf of prisoners, dissidents, and homosexuals, he shrouded his personal life in mystery. In The Lives of Michel Foucault -- written with the full cooperation of Daniel Defert, Foucault's former lover -- David Macey gives the richest account to date of Foucault's life and work, informed as it is by the complex issues arising from his writings. In this new edition, Foucault scholar Stuart Elden has contributed a new afterword assessing the contribution of the biography in the light of more recent literature.
Foucault in Brazil
Philosopher Michel Foucault’s cultural criticism crosses disciplines and is well known as an influence on modern conceptions of knowledge and power. Less well known are the five trips he took to Brazil between 1965 and 1976. Although a coup in 1964 had installed a military dictatorship, Foucault kept his opinion on the Brazilian government largely to himself until October 23, 1975. On that date, he delivered a manifesto at a student assembly in São Paulo expressing his solidarity with students and professors protesting a wave of arrests and torture. This manifesto caught the government’s attention and became the focal point of the dictatorship’s surveillance of Foucault. Foucault in Brazil explores the production of the public antagonism between the philosopher and the dictatorship through a meticulous consideration of each of his visits to Brazil. Marcelo Hoffman connects history, philosophy, and political theory to open new ways of thinking about Foucault as a person and thinker and about Brazil and authoritarianism.

Mulheres dos cabelos brancos
2a lugar do 8o Prêmio ABEU, 2022 – Categoria: Ciências humanas. Aborda o encontro entre os discursos e práticas sobre a saúde e o envelhecimento oriundos da biomedicina, da epidemiologia e da promoção da saúde com a experiência que constitui uma “tia” no mundo do samba. Com esse intuito, apresenta e analisa vivências das mulheres integrantes da Ala dos Cabelos Brancos, do Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba Império Serrano, e de compositores e sambistas que integram esse universo cultural, além de dialogar com autores de diversos campos do pensamento. A partir desses depoimentos, a autora investiga como as senhoras do samba lidam com as representações e conceitos de vida saudável, e se elas demonstram algum tipo de resistência à medicalização da vida, entre outros aspectos. O conteúdo constrói um viés crítico sobre a produção e circulação de discursos e práticas ligados à medicalização da vida e sua promessa de saúde e longevidade calcada na adoção de um modo de viver baseado na hiperprevenção.
Governamentalidade e Práticas Psicológicas
O que o governo, tema da vida coletiva, tem a ver com a psicologia, ciência da vida privada? Se seguíssemos a filosofia política tradicional, a partir de uma tentativa de justificar ou legitimar os dispositivos de soberania do Estado, não encontraríamos qualquer conexão. A perspectiva muda quando tomamos o conceito de governo como "genealogia do Estado moderno", projeto empreendido por Michel Foucault, no final dos anos 1970. Esse projeto foi retomado por inúmeros outros autores, como Michel Senellart, Graham Burchel, Colin Gordon, Peter Miller e Nikolas Rose. Para evitar a confusão com outros possíveis conceitos de governo, Foucault usa o termo "governamentalidade", enquanto "manei...
