In Memoriam: Michel Foucault(Vol. IV, No. 2 -- Fall 2000)Lisa writes: 
The AIDS memorial quilt is perhaps the most moving memorial I have ever seen. I was privileged to be able to see it in its entirety, back in the late eighties when it was still possible to lay it out on a single football field. For philosophers, one of the most important pilgrimage sites of the quilt is the square honoring the French theorist Michel Foucault. This grainy photo gives some sense of the quilt's vastness, already in the late 80s. Now, it is far too large to be shown in any one venue--a sobering testimony to the many lives lost to HIV.
