Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 14:04:58 +0800 I teach a similar media studies class and have been trying to integrate Foucault into it. Mark Poster is also tough to read, but I sometimes bring up his application of Foucault in his discussions of databases. This page also does the same thing: http://www.gslis.mcgill.ca/marginal/mar9-2/database2.htm . Check this one out as well: http://www.bsing.net/foucault.html . Poster's page is here: http://www.hnet.uci.edu/mposter/ . I've also used a book called Theories of the Information Society, but the author's name is lost in the haze of a New Year's hangover. There's a chapter on Anthony Giddens, looking at the way surveillance can be described as the defining feature of the information society. Hope this helps, as I'm also very much interested in the intersections between Foucault and media theory, Andrew
