Dear All,
Firstly, I like to thank you all for your response to my last question: it was very helpful not only in clarifying the translation, but in showing that there is no refuge in the French originals, since the passage in question could be read in a number of ways in both English and French versions.
Now to my question. I am trying to find a quote where Foucault talks about power in nominalist terms, where he describes power as being a tool of analysis and not a reflection of objective reality. The problem is I cannot remember where I read this, whether it was in one of the interviews or in one of the lectures.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.
Regards,
Kevin.
