Diane Davis" <dddavis-AT-metronet.com> Subject: Re: APOLOGIES Well, for the record, karl, Darlene should be credited with the "rudeness should always be met with silence" line. Wish I could take the credit you keep trying to give me for that, but I can't. 'Tis hers. ANYWAY...On a totally different subject, listers, I have a request. I'm teaching a grad seminar in feminist rhetorical theory with a focus on ecriture feminine in the fall. This course, among other things, will examine the ways in which ecriture feminine challenges both traditional and feminist assumptions about language and representation by pointing up the seductive force of a nonlinear writing, a writing that doesn't re/present so much as it *sets one in motion.* My main objective is to introduce students to, a la Kristeva, "desire/revolution in language," or, a la Foucault, "the language of terror." I had planned to require Foucault's "Language to Infinity" and perhaps his "Nietzsche, Freud, and Marx." But before I type it in, does anyone have another suggestion that might be better? This course is going to have the reading list from hell already, but I want to select at least one Foucauldian article or chapter on language and re/presentation. Preferably something on the language of "the mad philosopher." Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ddd -- DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD D D D D.
