Date: Sat, 08 Apr 1995 07:36:36 EST From: Lucindy Willis <willis-AT-vax1.elon.edu> Subject: foucault quote In *Representations of the Intellectual* (1994), Edward Said writes that intellectuals don't have to be "humorless complainers." "Witnessing a sorry state of affairs when one is not in power is by no means a monotonous monochromatic activity. It involves what Foucault once called a "relentless erudition," scouring alternative sources, exhuming buried documents" etc. (xviii). Does anyone on this program know where the phrase relentless erudition orginated (work and page #). Secondly, would someone mind sharing a list of articles or works for the Foucault novice? Something that would give me a firm foundation into Foucault's theories and ideas? I do a lot of work with the intellectual and power and though I have read foucault, I don't feel that x I am on firm footing with his work. Thank you. L. willis ------------------
