Stuart EldenI didn't do a Mastodon #introduction, but over the past too-many years I've been writing what became a four-volume intellectual history of Michel #Foucault. The final volume of the series, The Archaeology of Foucault, will be out next month with #Polity - https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=the-archaeology-of-foucault--9781509545346 If I’d known it would become this big, I’d probably have never had the courage to begin, but I did at least have the determination to finish it (1/3)
As well as Foucault, I have ongoing interests in #territory, #Shakespeare and Henri #Lefebvre. My new project is on #Indo-European thought in twentieth-century France. I began reading Georges #Dumézil because of the Foucault connection, which led me to Emile #Benveniste’s work on Indo-European concepts, and the idea developed from there. There is more about this project, funded by a #LeverhulmeTrust major research fellowship, here - https://progressivegeographies.com/future-projects/indo-european-thought-in-twentieth-century-france/ (2/3)
I continued with https://progressivegeographies.com, running since 2010, even as much of the blogging community was dropping them and shifting entirely to Twitter… The benefit of my stubbornness (or enduring sense a blog/website could do different things) is that my archive is still all available, even if one of the key means of dissemination is deserted… The feed is of posts, but the ‘resources’ page gives a sense of more durable, and I hope useful, things - https://progressivegeographies.com/resources/ (3/3)
Maria Abreu@stuartelden Thank you! I didn’t know it, but it looks really interesting. I’ve started to realise that Twitter has kept me in a bubble.
