Michel Foucault's influential work spanned a wide array of
intellectual disciplines, his writings having been widely taken up
in philosophy, history, literary criticism and political theory.
Focusing on the implications of Foucault's theories for education,
whilst characterizing them as provocative, problematizing, poetic
and playful, Lynn Fendler describes the historical context for
understanding Foucault's ground breaking critiques. Including a
discussion of his major theories of disciplinary power, genealogy,
discourse and subjectivity, this text provides generative
explanations of concepts, using analogies to the Internet and to
food, in order to connect Foucault's theories to everyday
experience.
