How is Foucault's name pronounced? Normal French pronunciation would be /miˈʃɛl fuˈko/ but I have seen web sites that say it's /ˈfuko/. Did he alter the proonunciation when he lived in Scandinavia and Germany, or are those sites simply wrong?— Preceding unsigned comment added by ABehrens (talk • contribs) 1 February 2016 (UTC)
The section headed "Genealogy as historical method" makes no reference to genealogy as historical method.

It does not appear to be true or correct that Michel Foucault signed the January 1977 French petition calling for abolishing the age of consent; his omission to do so is notable given that so many others did. This is actually stated in the "French petitions against age of consent laws" article, and is backed up in 2 of the sources cited, 5 and 6:

Foucault signed the May 1977 letter arguing against the disparity in age of consent laws between heterosexuals and homosexuals.
It seems remarkable to include this false factoid in the page for Foucault when the same petition is not mentioned on the Wikipedia pages of many who did actually sign it. Borwse (talk) 21:29, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
There have been serious allegations against Michel Foucault regarding sexual abuse of boys in Tunisia during the late 1960s. These claims were brought to light by French-American professor Guy Sorman, who stated that he witnessed Foucault engaging in inappropriate behavior with young boys. These allegations have sparked significant controversy and debate, but they remain allegations and have not been legally proven.
