SAINT FOUCAULT: TOWARDS A GAY HAGIOGRAPHY

Sinopsis de SAINT FOUCAULT: TOWARDS A GAY HAGIOGRAPHY

Why has Foucault become a powerful source of inspiration, both personal and political, for an entire generation of gay activists? And why have his political philosophy and his personal life recently come under such withering scrutiny by commentators as diverse as Bruce Bawer, Camille Paglia, and biographer James Miller? This book is an impassioned defense of Foucault as a galvanizing thinker whose career as a theorist and activist will continue to serve as a model for gay activists, intellectuals, and scholars.
