Though I remember it as being rather problematic, Scott Lash has a 
chapter in his book _Sociology of Postmodernism_ entitled "Genealogy and 
the Body: Foucault/Deleuze/Nietzsche"  It was also published in *Theory, 
Culture, and Society* (2:2, pp.1-18, 1984).  Rosi Braidotti's book, 
_Patterns of Dissonance_ might also help (esp. the chapters on 
"Un-Cartesian Routes" and "Bodies, Texts, and Powers") and a good deal 
less problematic.

And, of course, there is Foucault's "Theatrum Philosophicum" which is
collected in _Language, Counter-Memory, Practice_ and makes clear points
of connection.  I was looking over this article again just this morning. 
Puzzling out the event and the significance of the infinitive verb tense. 
Almost want to say something about what Foucault says about what it means
to say "to die."  To fall.   To dance.

To hold one's tongue.

Greg
