Dear Michael
Yes, I too am greatly interested in Foucault's writing. I have just begun
(well, technically next week) my PhD, which currently has the working title
of "The Discursive Formation of Disability". While this implies primarily
an archeological methodology, I fully intend to fuse both the genealogical
and archeological methods by the time I finish (well into the next
millenium!).
My prime focus is whether his various methodologies can be useful in
informing policy, which I rather simplistically view at this stage as being
informed for their methodologies by metaphysical philosophies.
I look forward to corresponding with you via e-mail, and through this list.
