More From Michel Foucault
In The Renaissance, Madness Was Present Everywhere And Mingled With Every Experience By Its Images Or Its Dangers. During The Classical Period, Madness Was Shown, But On The Other Side Of Bars; If Present, It Was At A Distance, Under The Eyes Of A Reason That No Longer Felt Any Relation To It And That Would Not Compromise Itself By Too Close A Resemblance. Madness Had Become A Thing To Look At: No Longer A Monster Inside Oneself, But An Animal With Strange Mechanisms, A Bestiality From Which Man Had Long Since Been Suppressed.

Let Us Ask... How Things Work At The Level Of On-going Subjugation, At The Level Of Those Continuous And Uninterrupted Processes Which Subject Our Bodies, Govern Our Gestures, Dictate Our Behaviors, Etc... We Should Try To Discover How It Is That Subjects Are Gradually, Progressively, Really And Materially Constituted Through A Multiplicity Of Organisms, Forces, Energies, Materials, Desires, Thoughts, Etc. We Should Try To Grasp Subjection In Its Material Instance As A Constitution Of Subjects.

Power Is Not An Institution, And Not A Structure; Neither Is It A Certain Strength We Are Endowed With; It Is The Name That One Attributes To A Complex Strategical Situation In A Particular Society.

Confined On The Ship, From Which There Is No Escape, The Madman Is Delivered To The River With Its Thousand Arms, The Sea With Its Thousand Roads, To That Great Uncertainty External To Everything. He Is A Prisoner In The Midst Of What Is The Freest, The Openest Of Routes: Bound Fast At The Infinite Crossroads. He Is The Passenger Par Excellence: That Is, The Prisoner Of The Passage. And The Land He Will Come To Is Unknown—as Is, Once He Disembarks, The Land From Which He Comes. He Has His Truth And His Homeland Only In That Fruitless Expanse Between Two Countries That Cannot Belong To Him.
