Re: [Foucault-L] Pathologies of Power

Thanks very much for those textual recommendations
Steve, they are very muchly appreciated, I was
unaquanted with Philo's work till now. I'd like to
take this occasions to say, for the sake of its 'being
said', that a histigrahphical analysis of the
geographic distributions of the sites of confinement,
which is synchronously fitted to medieval notions of
space and time, should be distinguished from one which
does not confine itself to a euclidian, plane,
geometry, more fitted to 'englighted' ideas about
space and time (i.e., which place the placeless-places
of heaven and hell not above and below the earth as in
medieval 'geographies of the afterlife', but 'in the
head' in the reformed geographies of salvation).
