I have read and studied Michel Foucault. Bow to me, little people.
For now I understand how the world works. Fie on those who think I can't plot a means to our salvation!*

:P

























* Foucault would hate such a statement. :P

1. It's funny - you posted a thread recently about academic reading,
and I thought "she must be reading Foucault"...

8. What do you mean, Orrex?
I have not disclosed any "details" of my Longhorn game viewing this year! As far as anyone knows, what I do is well under wraps. :P

9. Obviously, I'm referring to your reaction to the game from minute to minute
Since you're such a diehard fan, your responses are a useful barometer for gauging the quality of the game.


What in the world did you think I was talking about?

11. I'd read him if he just came out and admitted that postmodernism is a bunch of hogwash

15. Pffft, liberal studies major here
Of course I've read Foucault.
Not only that, I had to write a paper and my professor said it was very Foucault-ish or Foucaultarian or something like that.

16. After reading Foucault I had to wonder if his entire system
wasn't some absurd joke to screw around with the entirety of western civ. In my field (history) Foucault is either God or the antichrist. You either hate him because he totally ignored the canons of the discipline, or adore his fundamental reinterpretation of the field. I found his work interesting, but frankly a little too opaque to be useful.
