Forget Foucault

Jean Baudrillard, in his 1977 tract Oublier Foucault (trans. Forget Foucault), asserted that "Foucault's discourse is a mirror of the powers it describes." Since "it is possible at last to talk with such definitive understanding about power, sexuality, the body, and discipline it is because at some point all this is here and now over with." Therefore, with "the coincidence between this new version of power and the new version of desire proposed by Deleuze and Lyotard not accidental: it's simply that in Foucault power takes the place of desire That is why there is no desire in Foucault: its place is already taken When power blends into desire and desire blends into power, let's forget them both."
