Re: Power in Education and Foucault

Leo wrote,

such a concept is lost in the vulgar Foucaultian reduction

C'mon, Leo, at least you could have afforded Foucault (the authority)
the respect of hyphenating "vulgar" and "Foucaultian." It is hardly
fitting to use language in such a way as to subliminally suggest that F.
and not the reduction itself is "vulgar." The habit of omitting the
hyphen harkens back to the habit of bourgeois scholars of de-hypenating
"vulgar-Marxist" into a form more suitable in the long run for Cold War
anti-"ideology" rhetoric (and incidentally Marxism is not an
ideology--it's a Utopia. To say otherwise abuses unfairly both Marx and
Mannheim).
