yah. would be natural, as I've often explained at the blog, 'coz of Hegelian influence. what it has devolved into during the 20th c., though, was the great search for "the subject of history" -- the most oppressed group is considered, somehow, "the" standpoint. but as you know, it was more than simply a standpoint, but also political practice. (I find reading the early Catherine MacKinnon interesting as she struggles through exactly this. If you wanna talk structuralist in the extreme, read her stuff. yeowsa!)
what i've written on foucault is all at blog, just search foucault. archived here, too. won't bore the list with another rendition.
i was going to do a foucault seminar at the request of a few people. haven't had time.
but it is cool to see all the frantic searches onthese topics from various .edu locations. I need to make customized message asking them to get back to me after they lift my stuff. i'd like to know if they score an A on their papers. HAH!
