MICHEL FOUCAULT, info.

hi cordelia

you might be interested in James R. Kincaid: Erotic Innocence. The 
Culture of Child Molesting. Duke University Press, 1988
not much to do with Foucault, but a lot with the hysteria about the 
sexuality of children.

Andrew Hewitt ideas on boylove are based on the theories of Foucault. 
In his book "Political Inversion. Homosexuality, Fascism and the 
Modernist Image", Stanford 1996, you'll find a very interesting chapter 
on pedophilia.

If you understand german, you might also be interested in my master 
thesis about John Henry Mackay in which I try to describe the 
boylove-relating works of Mackay with the help of some of Foucaults 
theories. send me an e-mail, if you're interested.

further on I'm very interested in your paper. I would be happy, if you 
could send me a copy, when you will have finished it.
