I was wonding if anyone could clarify the distinction between "strategies"
and "tactics" in Foucault's usage.
I think I grasp the distinction more generally, (strategy is the overall
plan, whereas tactics are particular methods used in the course of exocuting
that plan), but I am wondering if it comes up in Foucault, and, if so, what
he says about it.
Also, Certeau describes tactics in terms as what the dominated must rely on
(evasive, interrupting, etc.) whereas the dominant party --presumably
because she retains better control over the entire terrain-- is able to act
more strategically.
Is this additional distinction anywhere discussed in Foucault's work, or is
it unique to Certau?
