There are no primary discussion from Foucault about spatiality, knowledge and power. The three key domains constitutive of any experience are self (ethics), knowledge (truth) and power (relations). So "limitations" of the concept of spaciality in Foucault is that he developped this concept only in one article in 1967 "Of Other Spaces": http://foucault.info/documents/heteroTopia/foucault.heteroTopia.en.html and did not elaborate further that concept of space in any of his later works.François

There has been a lot of talk recently (at least among geographers) of Foucault's call for a "history of spaces," which has inspired important new works, such as John Pickles' "A History of Spaces: Cartographic Reason, Mapping and the Geo-coded World" (2004) and Stuart Elden's "Mapping the Present: Heidegger, Foucault and the Project of a Spatial History" (2001). I am curious what members of this listserv take away from Foucault's discussions of spatiality, knowledge, and power. More specifically, what are the strengths--and limitations--of Foucault's understanding of such power/knowledge/spatiality relations?
