Summary:The book O Legado de Foucault (The Legacy of Foucault) is the result of a seminar with the same name held in Unesp/Araraquara -- SP in 2004, & it presents a debate about the wide theoretical influence of the French thinker on the contemporary human sciences. The diversity of topics discussed, grouped into six thematic groups (Archives, Engagement & resistance; Feminisms; Friendship, body & aesthetics of existence; Law, violence & social control; & Philosophical paths), does justice to the plurality of Foucault's thought & explores the endless possibilities he opened up. The book intends to address the author's theoretical influence on the contemporary human sciences, & it provides an opportunity to understand how the social sciences in Brazil, particularly those developed in the public universities of the state of Sao Paulo, are working & renewed by his ideas.
