Was I born then, I might have asked Foucault to incite a discourse on my body. After seeing the doctor the next day, I'd lock him in a room with Jung and Hegel and starve them into producing something readable and voluminous.

Like how I imagine some semi-acid trip mental breakdown to be when it's explained.

Originally posted by Zanick He's essential reading! I especially loved The History of Sexuality, where he deconstructs the narrative of Victorian prudence and develops his ideas of incitement and inscription further. When I had university access, I found some very early papers from when he was more interested in post-Heideggerian scholarship, which was interesting to look at in the context of where his career went after he drifted into psychoanalysis.

The history of sexuality basically dismisses all puritanism and is actually extremely sexy reading. It articulates catholic girl repression, why thigh curves are sexier than minge shots. He was an amazing person who could desconstruct like no ones business. I would LOVE to see what he thought of Janet Jackson at the superbowl, holy fuck he would write an epic paper about that
I'm into Chinua Achebe now. I bet he had a deep sexy baritone -
