Subject: Foucault and sex
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 18:06:02 -0000


Interesting that people keep mentioning Marx when answering my mails and the 
general hostility towards the canon. This is ironic when we consdier the 
debt F owes to his work and other Western Marxists (Althusser etc). Also 
interesting is the use of violent sexualised language in response to 
queries. For example, the reference to Marx screwing sheep and Asher Haig 
talking about fist fucking.

To stay on subject and keep with the theme, I wonder how much Foucault's 
well documented sexual experimentation (bondage, sado-masochism, sauna sex 
etc) fed into his general world view. Especially when we consider his views 
of the body as loci of resistance and power (bio-power). Any thoughts?
