From the 1981 “Sexuality and Solitude” to the 1982 “Le combat de la chasteté” to the 1984 History of Sexuality, Volume 2, Michel Foucault’s published works have long recognized the influence of the historian of late antiquity, Peter Brown. With the 2018 publication of Foucault’s draft of Les Aveux de la chair (Confessions of the Flesh) bearing no mention of Brown, the depth of this influence requires further elaboration. Despite Brown not appearing in the “Index of Modern Authors,” Confessions of the Flesh reflects Foucault’s debt to Brown for his readings of Augustine of Hippo and his conceptualizations of sexuality and subjectivity. Analyzing archival evidence alongside biographical narratives helps us better understand Brown’s vital influence as Foucault was shifting his History of Sexuality project, his archival practices, and his genealogy of subjectivity. Appreciating the textual and conceptual engagement between Foucault and Brown thus illuminates not only Confessions of the Flesh as Volume 4 in the History of Sexuality series but also the conceptual and methodological developments of both scholars in their disciplinary intersections.
从1981年的《性与孤独》到1982年的《贞洁之战》，再到1984年的《性史》第二卷，米歇尔·福柯的出版作品早就认识到了古代晚期历史学家彼得·布朗的影响。随着2018年福柯的《肉的忏悔》（Les Aveux de la chair）草稿的出版，没有提到布朗，这种影响的深度需要进一步阐述。尽管布朗没有出现在“现代作家指数”中，但《肉的自白》反映了福柯对布朗的亏欠，因为他阅读了《希波的奥古斯丁》，以及他对性和主体性的概念化。将档案证据与传记叙事一起分析，有助于我们更好地理解布朗的重要影响，因为福柯正在改变他的性史项目、他的档案实践和他的主观性谱系。因此，欣赏福柯和布朗之间的文本和概念接触，不仅阐明了《性史》系列第4卷《肉的自白》，而且也阐明了两位学者在学科交叉中的概念和方法发展。

The recently published book by Michel Foucault, Les aveux de la chair, challenges us to recognize once again the relevance of Christianity for the philosophical project of writing a historical ontology of the present.2 This paper follows that invitation and analyzes the articulation and legacy of the Spanish version of the Catholic doctrine of charity at the moment of its decline. During the eighteenth century, the articulation of the doctrine was based on urging the believers to undergo a transformation according to the complex love of charity. The first section of this paper analyzes the “practice of the self” that believers had to perform for undergoing such a transformation and thus realizing the truth act of charity. Section two studies almsgiving and “tribulation” as the two truth acts Catholic believers had to perform while dealing with the poor’s needs and poverty’s pains. In their respective and hardly compatible ways, these exercises of charity modeled not only a charitable believer but also made that believer a steward for others. Thus, they were critical pieces for forging a charitable pastorate, which formed a distinctive reciprocity between the members of the Spanish Catholic community of the eighteenth century. The third section of this paper will claim that the charitable pastorate was neither abolished nor forgotten when the Spanish Monarchy established the police of the poor—a new type of giving led by the State. Rather, the charitable pastorate became a building block for the Spanish police of the poor. Thus, this unlikely encounter between charity and the police
Michel Foucault，Les aveux de la chair最近出版的一本书，挑战我们再次认识到基督教与书写当代历史本体论的哲学项目的相关性。2本文遵循这一邀请，分析了西班牙版天主教慈善教义在衰落之际的表达和遗产。在十八世纪，教义的阐述是基于敦促信徒根据对慈善的复杂热爱进行转变。本文的第一部分分析了信徒为实现慈善的真理行为而进行的“自我实践”。第二节研究了施舍和“磨难”这两种天主教信徒在处理穷人的需求和贫困的痛苦时必须履行的真理行为。这些慈善活动以各自的、几乎不兼容的方式，不仅塑造了一个慈善信徒，而且使该信徒成为他人的管家。因此，它们是打造慈善牧师的关键部分，这在18世纪的西班牙天主教社区成员之间形成了独特的互惠关系。本文的第三部分将声称，当西班牙君主政体建立穷人警察时，慈善牧师既没有被废除，也没有被遗忘——这是一种由国家领导的新型捐赠。相反，慈善牧师成为了西班牙穷人警察的基石。因此，慈善机构和警方之间这场不太可能的遭遇

As the May ’68 revolution reached a boiling point, a remarkable assemblage of philosophers, writers, and incarcerated persons, doctors, nurses, social workers, and sociologists, activists and organizers, and militants in France turned their attention to the problem of the prison. At a time when prisons were mostly hidden from view, practically impenetrable in France to outsiders, at a time long before we recognized mass incarceration in countries like the United States, the Prisons Information Group (the Groupe d’information sur les prisons or the “GIP”) coalesced to spotlight the travesty of justice that is the prison—one that continues unabated today or, even worse, is exacerbated in Western liberal democracies. As I write these words, people are being violated, slashed, stabbed, and deprived of food and security at the jail on Rikers Island in New York City, with almost a third of the guard staff not even showing up for work.1 As of mid-October 2021, thirteen people imprisoned at Rikers have died this year.2 Our jails and prisons are broken—an intolerable crisis, as the GIP maintained already in 1970.
当1968年5月革命达到沸点时，法国的哲学家、作家、被监禁者、医生、护士、社会工作者、社会学家、活动家、组织者和武装分子等一批杰出人士将注意力转向监狱问题。在监狱基本上不为人所知的时候，在法国，外人几乎无法进入监狱，在我们认识到像美国这样的国家存在大规模监禁的很久以前，监狱信息组织(Groupe d’Information sur les prisons，简称“GIP”)联合起来，揭露了监狱对司法的嘲弄——这种嘲弄在今天依然有增无减，在西方自由民主国家甚至更糟。就在我写这些话的时候，人们正在被侵犯，被砍，被刺伤，被剥夺食物和安全，在纽约市赖克斯岛的监狱里，几乎三分之一的警卫人员甚至没有上班截至2021年10月中旬，今年有13名被关押在赖克斯监狱的人死亡我们的拘留所和监狱已经破败不堪——正如1970年GIP所指出的那样，这是一场无法忍受的危机。

This collection could not have come in a more prescient time. As the editors suggest, “The present volume is, at once, then, a historical archive, a conceptual challenge, and a tactical tool kit.”1 I will focus my comments on some tactical questions regarding the effect and aftermath of the GIP investigation on the intolerability of incarceration. What effect did it have on those incarcerated? On prison conditions? On the rationale of confinement? My own work focuses on the connections between prison abolition and anti-disability confinement, especially the movements of deinstitutionalization and anti-psychiatry. To me, this monumental collection/translation project highlights again the continuity of disability confinement – mental crisis in prison is a general condition not an exception, as seen by many testimonies; in addition, “prison suicides in France marked not only a symptom of these desperate conditions, but also a final form of protest and escape;”2 and the GIP, through Foucault’s work, also saw the connections to psych incarceration outside the walls of the prison (the psych information groups that I hope someone translates next..). The GIP (Prisons Information Group) “sought to make the intolerable physical, mental, and emotional conditions of incarceration visible in ways that provoked and supported public intolerance of them.”3 The role of the GIP, then, was: “to unite the interior and exterior of the prison in the same struggle.”4 In my work,5 I discuss the cumulative effect
