Foucault-L mail-list

In a recent paper i have written i have, briefly, addressed the points 
of similaritis and differences concerning Weber and Foucault on the 
social construction of Time. I point out that both recognize the strong 
religious element of time imperatives in the West. With Weber, of 
course, arguing that it is Protestantism which decress that "the 
wasting of time is the first and most serious of the sins" whilst 
Foucault is more general and says only that it is 'religious orders' 
which were "the first technicians of time and rythmical activies". This 
latter quote is paraphrased from D&P and of course the analyis there 
differs from Weber in that Foucault goes on to show how time 
imperatives manifested in a whole range of social institutions and 
actually, in the final analysis, he pays little concrete attention to 
the part of religion in all of this.
