Foucault-L mail-list

The replication of discourses is extensively discussed in the Archeology of
Knowledge; the archive is the essential replication mechanism of disourse as
such;
The institutionalized power/knowledge system is the effective replication
mechanism of discourse as a practice.
The question how that is effected in the brains or mind of an individual is
another question, which has not so much to do with Foucaultian analysis or
archeology of discourses
