Hang on on there Rob! I too am relatively new to Foucault (been reading him
seriously for about a year) and have found his work increasingly rewarding
and exciting the more I read.

Subject: [Foucault-L] Introduction

I would like to introduce myself to group.  I am just starting work on a 
PhD at the University of Chichester.  I want to look at the discourse of 
academic reading and am reading Foucault with the idea that I might use 
his ideas on the control, production and distribution of discourses as a 
means of theorising my research.

I am only beginning to engage with Foucault's ideas and am reading 
Discipline and Punish, his essay on the Order of Discourse, and 'What is 
an Author?' I am pleased to find that although his work is difficult and 
dense I am beginning to get hang of it!
