The latest issue of Foucault Studies, an open-access journal, is now out! This issue, entitled “Foucault and Deleuze,” seeks to tackle the “critical deficit” in academia on the relationship between Deleuze and Foucault’s work.

Foucault and Deleuze were prominent figures in the French intellectual scene at the same time. The two had formed a friendship and were even known to attend political protests together. However, the two had grown distant over the years, and Foucault had privately taken issue with Deleuze’s work. Foucault had wished to reconcile with Deleuze when his health began to fail him, but he died before the two could meet again.

After Foucault’s death in 1984, Deleuze began “writing and lecturing a book about Foucault’s philosophical corpus immediately.”  Deleuze’s lectures on Foucault were recently released (in French) and total over 1,600 pages when transcribed.  Those lectures are currently being translated into English for the very first time.
