Document Summary

Room: acw 206 for lecture, ace 006 for tutorial. Time: friday 11:30 to 1:30 pm for lecture, 2:30 to 3:30 for tutorial. Tell your friends who are absent today to screen radiant city and take notes. There will be a question on the test about it. We are looking for evidence of the ideas we are exploring in the course. Foucault"s concern with the notion of discourse because he feels that language is too limited a concept. We place too much emphasis on meaning, how meaning is constructed in culture. This is a really crucial issue, you need to get it clear today. We are focusing on the body in this part of the term. Reading bodies, the racialized bodies, the oriental body. How power is focused on the body in a variety of different spaces. Here you become a student, which requires a docile body that pays attention.
