Re: Foucault and resistance

Check pages 95-96 in History of Sexuality, Volume I.

"Where there is power, there is resistance, and yet, or rather
consequently, this resistance is never in a position of exteriority in
relation to power" (p.95)

This is how Proposition 5 begins. It would be useful to first read from
page 92, where Foucault clarifies his use of the concept of power, in
order to locate how his view on resistance come about.

Best.

any thing but the perception.
