do you think that foucault's "power" is the same as luke's "power"? it
seems you also thereby suggest foucault wasted his time for not reading
these people and or that he his contribution to the last 20-30 years of
intellectual work has been insignificant! Certainly, you are no doubt to
point out that the "lukes-dahl" list is much more popular than the foucault
list! (i hope you recognize irony....)
i am perturbed by your last statement, your implicit claim to know the
general people who were turned off to foucault and your rather explicit
denial of all those who were quite happy that someone came up with a new way
to talk of power and especially of power/knoweledge.
