Subject: [Foucault-L] Foucaultian dictum

Dear all

Today someone mentioned the Foucaultian dictum to me: "Power lies in
monuments and documents."

Do these words come directly from his own work? If so, does anyone have a
direct reference to one of his works where this appears? If not, does
anyone know where this dictum appears in the secondary literature?

Charles Villet
