Foucaultisms

We discussed Foucault's Discipline and Punish in class today. Without looking at other people's responses, list off the top of your head as many words as you think came up in discussion. The person with the most correct matches gets a prize. ("The," "and," and "um" don't count. These are Foucault buzzwords I'm talking about, people. You know what I mean. Now get down to it.) Rareties (words I remember coming up only once, but which are still crucial) will get 2 pts.

Aw, come on. Really this was just an excuse for you to relive the phrase "inscribed upon the body."

But, yes, that's 1 point.

is this supposed to like, show how Foucault is not serious? cuz I think he needs to be more rigorous and have more empirical analysis, as opposed to just inventing concepts. history is a science, not a form of poetry.

History also has little room for irony.
