hi all,
i am currently trying to find some sources (and better understand)
foucault's 'diagram' of power. i have been through some of the earlier
posts on this topic without much luck. other than deleuze's book on
foucault (which i am finding very difficult) can anyone suggest useful
sources that explain and clarify the concept of the diagram? i'm
particularly interested in its apparent appropriation by guattari in
'molecular revolution in brazil' where G writes:
'It is also necessary to have discussions with the parties, the unions, and
so on, but in this case the discussion is not on the basis of accusations
such as 'you're rotten, bourgeois, capitalist pigs, etc' or on the basis of
schematic programs, but on the basis of what we would call diagrams
concretely embodied by people and by experiences'
i am particularly interested in the potential use of the diagram concept as
a way to think about experience, change and struggle, rather than discursive
regimes. any thoughts?
