Re: Drug Gaze

Hi Richard, yes, I agree, it seems as if some Foucauldians here want to
establish a 'Foucault-mailing-list police' to discipline and punish
those who don't ascribe to a 'purified' discussion on Foucault's theory
in itself, outside 'polluting' comments that combine personal
experiences with crucial contemporary social issues and
remarks/questions on Foucauldian theory.

Still I would be very interested in reading other people's thoughts on
how, for instance, we could see power as being exercised through
everyday practices, ritualistic elements and ways of
identification/exclusion from any drug subcultures - and the relation of
those subcultures to the dominant culture.

Best regards
Aris
