The History of Sexuality
The History of Sexuality: An Introduction | Michel Foucault
Michel Foucult offers an iconoclastic exploration of why we feel compelled to continually analyze and discuss sex, and of the social and mental mechanisms of power that cause us to direct the questions of what we are to what our sexuality is.

A pick for the ideas. Especially interested in how Foucault formulates power as productive rather than repressive. Still found my mind wandering a bit at times. Apparently Discipline & Punishment is a better work overall, so maybe that is where I will have to go next with Foucault.

According to Harari, page 322, Homo deus, todays acceptance of gay marriage or female clergy comes from reqding books like Foucault or Haraway

I've taken an entire class on Foucault and Deleuze and I don't know what happened in it. I think the professor is lost, too. Oh well. Tea and Chocolates before bed.
