I didn't sign off in time, which is good, as I had the opportunity to
see everyone trying to respond only to the message they'd just
received... says a lot for our perspicacity as scholars...
The citation about knowledge and cutting--which some like and some
recoil from, What, Michel use such a nasty word!--I am currently
featuring as my signature line, finding it particularly apposite for my
life in the academy at present.
The quote is from
Foucault, Michel. (1984). Nietzsche, genealogy and history. In Paul
Rabinow (Ed.), the Foucault Reader. (pp. 76-100). New York: Pantheon
Books and specifically, page 88, where F is talking about effective
history. Perhaps Stuart Elden can provide a French original? Thanks
Stuart
Enjoy it, all.
