Foucault said as much himself once, when he was asked what he thought
about rights claims as political tactics. (I could dig up the reference if
it's *really* important; as I recall, it's a bit obscure, in a footnote
somewhere--but maybe someone else has it ready to hand.)

in those days, writers expressed thoughts."
