Confessions of the Flesh: Michel Foucault’s Final Volume of "The History of
Sexuality"<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-ca…
Thu., Dec. 5, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Lower Level Conference Room, Adolphus Busch Hall, 27 Kirkland Street
at Cabot Way, Cambridge, MA 02138
In February 2018, the fourth and final volume of Michel Foucault’s History of Sexuality
project—Confessions of the Flesh—was published for the first time in French by Éditions
Gallimard. This is an extraordinary publishing event since the book was not supposed to
have been printed at all.
This one-day conference will assess the reception and impact of this missing volume of
Foucault’s History of Sexuality. It will highlight the text of Confessions of the Flesh,
its place in Foucault’s oeuvre, the context in which he wrote, and the contemporary
relevance of this new work. It is far enough away from the Foucault-overload of past
decades that it is now possible to freshly examine the enduring value of this influential
thinker—a re-examination inspired by the belated publication of his final book.
