He says he is a theorist of the new social movements. So he lookes at the
prison riots, the feminists, the anti- medical movement etc. to see at which
point of oppression they start to problemize. Further his thesis is that you
can`t devide between power an knowledge. So he thinks that his ability to
problemize as a theorist is a function of these attacks against oppression
(or is it domination??? I am not a native speaker, too)

Betreff: RE: Problematizing
It comes as a shock to me too O_O I just notice I searched under
'problematise', which is why the
word is not found.
Moving onto a slightly more general question: did Foucault simply pointed
out
that our society
problematized sexuality / homosexuality / madness etc? Or, did Foucault
himself problematized
the discourse/ history of these issues? (pretending that these subjects are
not seen as "problems"
before Foucault pointed it out)
