Media Resources Center, UC Berkeley

Media Resources Center, UC Berkeley The Media Resources Center is proud to announce the unveiling of two
significant new online audio collections:

Michel Foucault Collection

The most comprehensive collection to date of online audio recordings of
lectures and courses by the renowned French philosopher and historian,
Michel Foucault. The English language colle...ction features two lecture
series delivered at UC Berkeley in the 1980’s on Truth and Subjectivity
and Parrhesia. The French language collection offers five complete
semester length courses, covering such quintessentially Foucauldian
concepts as Parrhesia, governmentality, neoliberalism, security,
biopolitics, and sovereignty. The collection includes recordings spanning
two decades of thought and instruction, including Foucault’s final 1984
course at the Collège de France.

All recordings can be accessed from the Michel Foucault Audio Archive,
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/foucault/mfaa.html

This collection was generously donated to the Media Resources Center by
Paul Rabinow, Professor of Social Cultural Anthropology and digitized and
edited by Gisèle Binder, Operations Supervisor, Media Resources Center.


UCB/Pacifica Radio Archives LGBT History Collection

In continuing partnership with the Pacifica Radio Archives
(http://www.pacificaradioarchives.org/), the Media Resources Center has
digitized over 20 hours of programming related to LGBT history and culture
that originally aired on Pacifica radio from 1958 to 1998. The digitized
materials have been incorporated into a new MRC web site devoted to the
project: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/pacificalgbt/pacificalgbt2.html

The work of identifying, preserving, and digitizing materials in the
Pacifica Archives was largely accomplished by Joe Gallucci, an intern in
the NYU Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program. Over a ten week
period, Joe worked with staff in both the Parcifica Archives and MRC to
develop and implement this project.
