Penn Press is thrilled to announce its new partnership with Foucault Studies, the only international journal in the English language devoted to the work and influence of Michel Foucault. Future issues will be available through Penn Press on the Project Muse platform, while back issues will continue to be hosted on its website.
Foucault Studies remains committed to publishing a wide range of scholarship, engaging with Foucault’s thought across the humanities and social sciences. In keeping with his wide-ranging theoretical and political commitments, previous contributions have spanned comparative literature, art, philosophy, and politics as well as anthropology, sociology, geography, and law. The journal aims to continue Foucault’s legacy by fostering rigorous, contemporary engagement with his ideas.
The new Spring 2025 issue of the journal contains a special section entitled Contributions from the Foucault Circle. This section includes the articles “black Foucault: An Intellectual Reparations Project” by Haylee Christine Harrell & Taryn D. Jordan; “On COVID and Racism as ‘Twin Pandemics’: Foucault, Anti-Racism, and Inoculation” by Eyo Ewara; “Legopolitics” by Robert S. Leib; and “Strategic Matters:
Apparatuses, Sub-Individuals, and Anthropological Slumber” by Daniel Perlman.
The biannual journal is edited by Knut Ove Eliassen, Robert Harvey, Daniele Lorenzini, Clare O’Farrell, Sverre Raffnsøe, and Dianna Taylor. Potential authors can visit https://fs.pennpress.org for submission information. To access content, visit muse.jhu.edu. The journal is online-only and has been available Open Access since its founding in 2004.
