and the moral is, 'don't respond too hastily to provocative messages'.
The above sentence should, of course, have read "What Foucault is
refraining from is the assumption that any alternative programme which
he might advance (even if it were to be realised) would _not_ very
quickly become the basis of new relations of power which would need to
be resisted."
Now why is it that I felt I couldn't let that one go?
