520 _aThe work of Michel Foucault is much read, widely cited, and occasionally misunderstood. In response to this state of affairs, this collection aims to clarify, to contextualize, and to contribute to Foucauldian scholarship in a very specific way. Rather than offering either a conceptual introduction to Foucault's work, or a series of interventions aimed specifically at experts, After Foucault explores his critical afterlives, situates his work in current debates, and explains his intellectual legacy. As well as offering up-to-date assessments of Foucault's ongoing use in fields such as literary studies, sexuality studies, and history, chapters explore his relevance for urgent and emerging disciplines and debates, including ecology, animal studies, and the analysis of neoliberalism. Written in an accessible style, by leading experts, After Foucault demonstrates a commitment to taking seriously the work of a key twentieth-century thinker for contemporary academic disciplines, political phenomena, and cultural life. Explains key Foucauldian concepts that are crucial for understanding Foucault in the twenty-first century, but that are often misunderstood (e.g. genealogy, subjectivity). Shows how Foucauldian ideas inform twenty-first-century ideas and concerns, e.g. ecology, neoliberalism, sexual identity. The third section of the book carries out readings of auto-biographical texts, novels, and works of true crime using a Foucauldian framework, allowing readers to use the chapters in this section of the book as models for doing readings of their own of cultural products and texts, with and through Foucault
