 century\, Michel Foucault’s reputation today rests on his political philoso
 phy in relation to the contemporary subject in a neoliberal and globalized 
 society. This book offers insight into the role of the arts in Foucault’s t
 hought as a means to better understanding his contribution to larger debate
 s concerning contemporary existence. Visual culture\, literary\, film and p
 erformance studies have all engaged with Foucauldian theories\, but a full 
 examination of Foucault’s significance for aesthetic discourse has been lac
 king until now. This book argues that Foucault’s particular approach to phi
 losophy as a way of thinking the self through the work of art provides sign
 ificant grounds for rethinking his impact today.</p><p>Books will be availa
