Subject: FOUCAULT'S BALD HEAD


just a very random question.  Does anyone know if foucault's shaved head
toward the end of his life was the result of chemotherapy (given that some
thought AIDS was a cancer) or something he just did?  I saw photos from the
60s in which he had a full set of hair.

"If at the base there has not been the work of thought...we know that
[reform] will be swamped, digested by modes of behavior and institutions
that will always be the same."
	-Michel Foucault, _Liberation_ interview, May 1981

"[H]umanism...presents a certain form of our ethics as a universal model for
any kind of freedom...[T]here are more secrets, more possible freedoms, and
more inventions in our future than we can imagine in humanism as it is
dogmatically represented on every side of the political reainbow: the Left,
the Center, the Right."
	-M.F., TECHNOLOGIES OF THE SELF, 1982
