See _Discipline and Punish_ right around 17-30. This is also reproduced in
part in _The Foucault Reader_, 170-178.
See "Prison Talk" in _Power/Knowledge_, 51-52
"The Concern for Truth," in _Politics, Philosophy, Culture_, pp. 264-265
If you can find a copy, see "Power and Norm: Notes" in _Power, Truth, and
Strategy_.
See also the section on "method" in _History of Sexuality, Vol. 1_,
beginning around p. 93.
