From: Chris Jones <ccjones-AT-turboweb.net.au> Subject: Re: Power and Sexuality Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2000 18:41:49 +1100 Hi Tom, I suggest you get hold and read _History of Sexulaity Volume One_ by Foucault. It deals precisely with the two questions you ask. (Power creates and the sexuality is quite explictly a question of the body. The thing is the sort of body F uses is not the organic body separted from the mind or thinking.) F puts it much bettter then i ever could. best wishes Chris Jones On Sat, 25 Nov 2000, you wrote: > > Dear Sir/Madam, > > I have just been looking over your website and have a couple of questions to ask you regarding Foucault. > > Firstly: Is power 'repressive' or 'productive' ? > > and Secondly: Has social construction theory, particularly variants whcih see 'sexual impulse', 'sex drive', or 'lust' as created, made no room for the body, its functions and physiology? > > I would appreciate as much information as possible as I find Foucault's ideas on these subjects extremely interesting.
