Daniel,
Have you read "What is critique?", contained in James Schmidt, editor, "What
is Enlightenment?" published by University of California Press? It's an
early piece by Foucault and very valuable, I think.

>problematizes/interrogates issues of agency, self-determination,
>knowledge and autonomy in relation to the subject situate/explain
>his or her practice of critique? Indeed, how do "pomo"
>conceptions of subjectivity problematize the idea and practice of critique?
>I am familiar with Foucault's formulation of the "specific intellectual"
but
