About Me

i'm now the too often depoliticized object of knowledge you understand as Michel Foucault. to some i am placed on the other side of the "normative division" along with the madman, the patient, the queer, the delinquent. some lump me in with the 'anti-philosophers' and the 'radicals'. most importantly, my goals have been to critically think about the ways we are subjected through discourse and the ways we subject ourselves.

subjectivity, rethinking power not as a top-down enactment, S/M, leather, writing, classical music, impressionist art
