Re: foucault roundtable

Salut Atefeh and everyone,
"L'ordre du Discours" seems like a fine text as well, and I see
no reason why we could not start with it and then proceed to _Les mots et
les choses_ (Order of Things). "Discours" is only some 50 pages or so
long, right?
What do people think about this idea?
If we go through with this, then it seems to me we should
establish some protocol about references to texts, etc, as people may not
be using the same editions or even languages for that matter...
I obviously don't have a problem with French being used, but I
think we should designate a translator for people who are not comfortable
in French but would nevertheless like to partake in the discussion. This
goes for Spanish and eventually German, non? I volunteer to translate
French to English if people don't consider this idea to off the wall...
Those persons in need of translation should contact me directly.

With much excitement,
dda <dallums@xxxxxxxx>
