Listen to Michel Foucault’s free lectures at UC Berkeley, 1980-1983

This from Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (Surveiller et Punir: Naissance de la Prison): “It is not the activity of the subject of knowledge that produces a corpus of knowledge, useful or resistant to power, but power-knowledge, the processes and struggles that traverse it and of which it is made up, that determines the forms and possible domains of knowledge.”
