Hi Clare,
good to see that others are present! i was beginning to wonder...
Interesting reply. But wouldn't you agree that governing the self through
and into a mode of silence in order to avoid becoming "a confessing
animal" is too an effect of power? Is it actually possible to escape
effects of power? Is silencing or removing the self from some forum a form
of resistence to the subjugating forces and effects of the confession or
another subtle form of domination and subjection as a result of it???
