Antii,
I think that your point is discussed by
- Kevin Thompson (2003)Forms of resistance : Foucault on tactical reversal
and self-formation
In:Continental Philosophy Review 36 (2003), afl. 2, pag. 113-138 (26)
texts by Foucault on resistance:
- Resistance as inherent to the power process is mentioned, but not really
discussed, a.o. in the debate with Chomsky of November 1971 (DE II, p. 496),
in some, but not all, articles on prison and prison revolts (DE II,
p.398-399; no.125) and in the debates on anti-psychiatry (a.o. DE II, no.
117, DE II: 684).
- Resistance is explicitly discussed as counter force in La force de fuir
(DE II no.118), in the summary of the Cours of 1973 (DE II, p. 467), and of
course in the analysis of popular insurgences and illegality, which are
frequently mentioned in the Cours and in Surveiller et punir;.

Subject: Re: [Foucault-L] the subject is a form (+introduction: AnttI
Sadinmaa)
Hi,
If the references in my old seminar paper are right, Foucault should say
that in "The Ethics of the Concern for Self as a Practice of Freedom"
which can be found in "Ethics. Essential Works of Foucault 1954-1984"
(page 290 to be exact).
I reckon introducing myself after lurking in the shadows for a long time,
should be in order. My name is Antti Sadinmaa and I'm studying philosophy
at the unirversity of Jyväskylä, Finland. Currently I'm working on my M.A.
thesis which will deal with resistance, ethics and freedom in Foucault's
philosophy. My idea is to explore the 2 forms of resistance (resistance as
tactical reversal and resistance as creation of autonomus forms of life)
and elaborate on the concept of freedom these 2 forms presuppose. If
anyone knows some books worth reading concerning the topic, feel free to
contact. All questions, comments and suggestions are also warmly welcome.
Best regards,
Antti Sadinmaa.
