From: embuck1-AT-pop.uky.edu Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 10:39:07 -0400 Subject: illegality and intolerability I guess I did not say enough about these two concepts to draw any response. Foucault is often accused of critiquing power and institutions, but of never providing a constructive alternative. In Discipline and Punish, Foucault very briefly discusses illegality, almost in a tone of advocating deliberate illegality to overcome the application of disciplinary correction. I say "almost" because I am not yet sure he did advocate such an approach. In an interview in Power/Knowledge, he mentions the Gulag question in terms of intolerability. Is this an inchoate tool for resistance? This is the sort of thing I am trying to work out. Has anyone seen any work on these areas? Can you point me to other mentions of them in Foucault? Thanks Eric
