    James HolstunARTICLECultural Critique1992References: 10

    will begin with tyrannicidal counteremblem. In late essay, Michel Foucault characterized his life's work as a history of different modes by which, in our culture, human beings are made subjects (Dreyfus and Rabinow 208).1 Foucault gives us no more striking and influential example of this than opening pages of Discipline and Punish, which recount public execution of Robert-Fran;ois Damiens, who tried to assassinate Louis XV of France.

  • A Rational Millennium: Puritan Utopias of Seventeenth-Century England and America

    Joy Gilsdorf, James HolstunARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly1989

    Taking a new approach to the history of utopia, this volume combines the political study of literary form with the literary study of political rhetoric.

It is quite possible to put oneself in the position in which Menenius would put the Roman plebeians, taking his organic analogy for a dramatic as well as a political exemplum, and to read Coriolanus as the tragic failure of the Roma…
