Gack from [livejournal.com profile] cruisedirector. All I can say is, thank all the deities that exist I didn't get Lacan. {{Shudder}}

Foucault
You are Michel Foucault! You wrote groundbreaking
histories of prisons, hospitals, asylums, and
sex. Interestingly, you thought basically the
same thing about all of them. Your historical
accuracy is a bit dodgy, but that was never
really the point. You were very obsessed with
power roles - so obsessed that you frequented
gay S&M clubs, and died of AIDS in 1984.

Somehow getting Foucault would not have made me feel better! *g*

Foucault may be wacked, but I found his theory at least moderately readable. Lacan and his followers, on the other hand, are the crew I most credit with driving me out of the academic fold. Give me Roland Barthes over either of them any day of the week.
