Honestly? I'd rather eat a cactus than have to read this "look-at-how-much-better-and-smarter-I-am-than-everyone" bullcrap one more time. If someone who has won hundreds of dollars from writing competitions can barely understand your (grossly and obnoxiously verbose, not to mention creepy and pedophilic) book, then WHO ARE YOU WRITING IT FOR?????
After reading this, I'm not sure why Foucault has such a great reputation. Main problems: 1. Method seems to be adopted from Rousseau (Essay on Inequality) and Freud (Totem and Taboo) of coming up with ideas, then claiming historical support for them, even if it doesn't exist. 2. Treating abstract concepts as concrete objects. 3. Falling in love with the sound of his words until the meaning vanishes and it becomes word salad. 4. Using common words in special and, frequently, obscure ways. Granted, this is common in philosophy, but usually when it's done, the special use is openly defined.
As a graduate student in French culture I knew that Foucault was very, very important and now I can see why. Important in understanding another culture but also, I think, helpful in learning that there is another way to view sexuality other than through the eyes of America and what we've been taught.
Foucault primarily focuses on the development of the concept of sexuality as it took on new meanings from the 17th century into modern times. He develops the concept of power structures in society that not only control but influence and expand the outworking of sexuality.Foucault represents four distinct areas of concern developing in the 18th century (France?) as mechanisms for advancing power and knowledge of sex. These categories are; the hysterization of women’s bodies, pedagogization of children’s sex, psychiatrization of perverse pleasure, and socialization of procreative behavior. All these themes are developed and expanded in this work. His view point seems to be rather narrow and myopic from a historical basis. I was hoping for a more rounded approach to the subject.
The History of Sexuality, Volume !: An Introduction by Michel Foucault, is this major French thinker's last work, and since so many others have given a good sense of what the book is about, I will be brief. My only demur to their opinions is that while this may be his most popular book, it is not his best, or his most influential among scholars.It is very important to note that this is not a history of sex. It is not even a history of talking about sex. It is a history of the way in which talking about sex was structured over the last three hundred years, his primary thesis being that contrary to popular belief, the Victorian era, roughly between 1835 and 1903, was NOT a period where talk about sex was repressed. To be sure, Freud and the other psychoanalysts made major influences in how we talk about sexuality, but Freud was as much a milestone as it was a cause of the change. The book is devoted to two critical shifts in attitudes about sex. The first was from the onset of legislation about sex early in the industrial age, to the formation of sexual archetypes or "types of sexuality". The second major shift, which contributed to the first, was the simultaneous change in the value put on human life. This was brought about by agricultural advances which abolished famine in many countries, and the advance in medicine which showed that by attending to good practices, one can substantially improve and lengthen one's life. This trend was embraced by governments, which discovered the need for lots of people to keep the new industries running.Make no mistake. Foucault is difficult to read, but you have the assurance of those who have gone before that the journey is worth the effort. One nice perk of reading thie book is that you get a chance to read sn iportant contemporary thinker who is totally imbued with Nietzschean concepts. One can almost hear Nietzsche talking over Foucault's shoulder. Unforturnately, Foucault does not have Nietxaxhe's flair for writing sparkling prose.I will warn you that the editor of this translation would have done us a favor by providing footnotes to explain some of Foucault's references, such as the fact that "The Plumed Serpent" was written by D. H. Laurance and that Jean Martin Charcot was the founder of scientific neurology, and Sigmund Freud's teacher at the Paris Saltpetraire hospital. Keep your Wikipedia open to look this stuff up as you read.To soften the blow of Foucault's rather dense beginning, I suggest you read the last chapter first. It explains what it is that Foucault is all about.
A round of applause for all the students purchasing this book for class, especially you UChicago kids in sosc. RIP. Would recommend Sparknotes.
The history of Sexuality is a great piece of work from Foucault. It documents the history of sexuality and argues against the repression theory of sexuality. It demonstrates Foucault's pursuit of Truth and Power relations and even offers a few hints at action (Really more in The History of Sexuality II).
