The paper takes into consideration the Foucauldian concept of confession as an analytical category attractive for educational research. The article consists of three parts. Part one, based on Michel Foucault’s lectures at the Collége de France and “The History of Sexuality”, contains definitions of the key concepts: “the regime of truth” and “the regime of confession”. Part two provides an overview of selected studies in which the category of confession was used in the analyses of contemporary education. The last part refers to the Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s “Confessions” and presents selected aspects of research on educational discourse in the light of the concept of confession.

In his recently published seminars, Derrida makes a number of comments about Foucauldian epistemes, ruptures, thresholds, blood, sex and biopolitics which suggest that he was always running late for Foucault. Despite being ideally suited to do so, Derrida failed to press Foucault on ghostly sovereignty or sexual difference. In ascribing to Foucault the view that sovereignty was replaced in importance by biopower, Derrida attributed to Foucault a taste for linearity thereby reducing his work to its least interesting reading. As a means of locating Foucault’s challenges to thresholds and linearities, Deutscher revisits the families of the History of Sexuality vol 1 and Foucault’s Collège de France lectures. Deutscher argues that the segmentations and multiple techniques of Foucault’s family spaces, their sex and their strange sovereignties, manifest the countering swings of Foucault’s oscillations, a resistance to the Derridean reading.

Foucault died leaving a large body of lectures and drafts unpublished. Of particular importance were thirteen years of lectures he delivered at the Collège de France, from 1971 to 1984. ‘Foucault after Foucault’ describes the content of these lectures, published in 1997, which exhibit the twists and turns of a mind constantly processing new material and reformulating its ideas. The lectures set out a general theme—the relation of truth and power—and show his research on sexuality was becoming complexly intertwined with studies of subjectivity, governmentality, and truth. In 2018, The Confessions of the Flesh was published, which was the next step in Foucault’s history of sexuality, dealing with the Christian Middle Ages.

This essay situates the execution of Calyphas in 2 Tamburlaine in the context of the gendered disciplinary regimes imposed by Tamburlaine in his quest for global empire. The execution bears a double significance: a father disciplines his son and, simultaneously, a sovereign military commander exercises martial law. In this doubling, the episode fuses a number of related issues in the history of sovereignty, especially key concepts addressed in Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality and later taken up by Giorgio Agamben in works such as Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life. By putting these historical models into dialogue with a revised account of the play’s source materials, this essay argues that Marlowe stages the violence embedded in both absolutist and republican models of governance when they are premised on the rigid enforcement of hierarchical disciplinary regimes.

This article investigates the trajectory of the Grêmio Dramático, Recreativo e Literário Elite da Liberdade (the Liberdade Elite Guild of Drama, Recreation, and Literature), a black club active in São Paulo, Brazil, from 1919 to 1927. The aim is to reconstruct aspects of the club’s history in light of its educational discourse on civility, which was used as a strategy to promote modern virtues in the black milieu. By appropriating the precepts of civility, Elite da Liberdade helped construct a positive black identity, enabled the creation of bonds of solidarity among its members, and made itself a place of resistance and struggle for social inclusion, recognition, and citizens’ rights.

What does a casual confrontation in a rundown shack between a landlady and her factory-worker tenant tell us about the history of gender and class relations in modern Egypt? Could a lost watch in a red-light district in the middle of the Nile Delta complicate our understanding of the history of sexuality and urbanization? Can an unexpectedly intimate embrace on a sleeping mat illuminate a link in the history of class, gender, and urbanization in modern Egypt?
