Foucault, Discipline and Punish
I’d like discuss the issue of agency in Discipline and Punish. The reaction of my Historiography class, which I gladly re-read this book for, was somewhat mixed. One student argued that “Foucault dismisses personal responsibility and the willful choice of … Continue reading
