Mark and others
Doesn't Foucault say somewhere (if I've got time I'll try to hunt it down -
it's somewhere in the 'Power' volume of "Essential Works") that the task of
his analyses on Power/Knowledge is to think the '/' and that it doesn't mean
power AND knowledge or Power'-'Knowledge? This may be wrong (and maybe he
did use a hyphen but I don't think so and either way this gives a useful
insight on Foucault's thought on the 'relation' as precisely that -
relational).

hi list
another question. I was wondering today about the origin of the term/phrase
'Power/Knowledge', which a seems to circulate a bit in connection with
Foucault. It doesn't seem to me to occur in Foucault's own work, where the
phrase is 'power-knowledge', with a hyphen. It doesn't seem to me that these
terms are equivalent in meaning. It seems likely to me that the origin of
power/knowledge is the title of Colin Gordon's collection of that name. I'd
be particularly interested to here Colin's own thoughts about this.

P.S. thanks to Stuart for that extremely useful review of l'hermeneutique,
and also Clare for the very valuable ready-translated quotes.
