Michel Foucault

One summer’s evening in 1933, the writer Raymond Roussel closes the door of his hotel room in Palermo. He swallows pills, drags the mattress to the centre of the room and lies down on it. The next morning his companion finds his corpse. But is he really dead?

From this "inexorable disease", Hervé Guibert did not recover. The miracle he had so much hoped for did not happen. But, before his death in 1991, three years after learning of his HIV-positive status, he engraved in his literary and photographic work "the places of [his] suffering", "the stations of [his] way of the cross". With his thin body and sunken cheeks, the handsome man with curly hair that he was, the one whose clear gaze radiated from the seaside photos, fought a fierce battle against AIDS. A fight of every moment against the decay of the body, observed and commented with a methodical care in his autobiographical novels, in particular "To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life" (1990) and "The Compassionate Protocol" (1991), and of which he testified on television on the set of "Apostrophes"...

Recounts the epic of Vincennes Experimental University Center, from its creation after the events of May 68 until its demolition in the summer of 1980. To talk about Vincennes is to relive unique ten years of intense intellectual and political extravaganza, educational and artistic inventiveness, utopias, hopes, and betrayals that marked the history in a unique place, the forest with the eponymous name.

In both his private and public life, Foucault often contradicted himself, especially when his ideas collided with the institutions where he worked. Contemporary critics and philosophers reframe their legacy in an effort to build new ways of thinking about his struggle against the mechanisms of domination within society, demonstrating how the conflict lies at the heart of his life and work.

A voyage to the center of the thought of Michel Foucault (1926-1984), a tireless explorer of the margins, a brilliant and atypical thinker, through excerpts from his books and lectures, and the use of images that resonate with them.

1835년, 노르망디의 작은 마을. 청년 피에르 리비에르는 어머니와 여동생 그리고 어린 남동생까지 모두 살해한다. 이 끔찍한 사건을 벌인 후 체포된 피에르는 재판을 기다리는데, 그는 그동안 어떤 일이 있었는지 써내려 가기 시작한다. 프랑스 철학자 미셸 푸코는 실제 일어났던 존속살해사건에 대한 방대한 자료들을 정리해 동명의 책을 펴냈고, 이를 알리오가 영화화했다. 알리오는 「카이에 뒤 시네마」의 편집인이자 시나리오작가인 파스칼 보니체와 세르주 투비아나와 함께 각색 작업을 했으며, 사건이 일어났던 마을에서 실제 주민들을 섭외해 촬영하여 긴장감과 리얼리티를 배가시켰다.

The Chomsky–Foucault debate was a debate about human nature, between Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault in the Netherlands, in November 1971. Chomsky and Foucault were invited by the Dutch philosopher Fons Elders to discuss an age-old question: "is there such a thing as 'innate' human nature independent of our experiences and external influences?"
