Hi Clare,
at one point I was responsible for a lot of the content on that Foucault page. The problem is that as people can edit it at will, the article keeps drifting into inaccuracies. Also, a lot of people disagree with me - had a big dispute with people there about Foucault's relationship to Althusser - it turned out ultimately that they were arguing on the basis of Foucault for Beginners. Anyway, I'll get round to tidying it up at some point again. Of course, if anyone else here wants to get involved adding or removing stuff, then that's what wikipedia is all about!
Mark
