Jamie, Some of Foucault's general works can be transposed to disability analysis. I keep going back to an early work: The History of Sexuality Vol 1 for inspiration. Also Foucault's work around governmentality is useful. On the broader question of adopting Foucault's methods for research I can recommend Gavin Kendall & Gary Wickham (1999) Using Foucault's Methods, Sage London. Also Shelly Tremain is editing a book on the government of disability (using Foucaultian methodologies). I have a chapter looking at constructions in law. Her is email is Shelley Tremain [log in to unmask] See also the special issue of the journal of History of the Human Sciences, vol 3, no 1, Feb 1990 which examines Foucault's Madness and Civilization.

The archeology of Knowledge is his own stab at describing his method. Featherstones Feminist Approaches to disability (? something like that) is very foucaultian and she is good at explaining his approach.
