hello,
it seems to this lurker that the problem with this kind of
criticism of foucault is that it doesn't recognize the alternatives to
transgression. the "body count" must be addressed whether one
transgresses or not. as things stand right now, the body count is pretty
high. at issue isn't the ethics of transgression, but rather the ethics
of action. transgression is only one possible way of acting on the
categories that constitute the world.
