Over five weeks in the month of May and the beginning of June, an international group of scholars will engage the work of Michel Foucault at the intersection of ethics, power, and Christianity in the context of the 2018 Éditions Gallimard publication of Les Aveux de la chair and its 2021 translation as Confessions of the Flesh. Foucault’s work and biography are not without controversy and we invite both critical and charitable engagement.
This series of virtual talks will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 Houston/12:00 NYC/18:00 Paris & Johannesburg. Each session will last one hour, featuring a speaker’s paper for 30-45 minutes, followed by discussion. These twice-a-week talks will promote continuity as a series, without the constraints of a virtual marathon. Many of these talks will be recorded and will constitute an ongoing resource for viewers around the world. We offer you the draft versions of the recordings here.
Series thanks go to the Humanities Research Center and the Department of Religion at Rice University.
Niki Kasumi Clements & James D. Faubion

Peter Brown! I had the great pleasure of being in an Arabic seminar on the Qur'an and commentaries with Professor Brown as a fellow seminarian at Berkeley in the 1980s. God bless.

Just checking in while I am obsessively writing a research paper on Peter Brown's work on Augustine. We are truly obsessed about Foucault here in Erlangen. BTW, I'm happy to see that Professor Brown's office is just as messy as mine.
