"Foucault is an interesting case because I'm sure he honestly wants to undermine power but I think with his writings he reinforced it. The only way to understand Foucault is if you are a graduate student or you are attending a university and have been trained in this particular style of discourse. That's a way of guaranteeing - it might not be his purpose - but that's a way of guaranteeing that intellectuals will have power, prestige and influence."
