“Exercise, having become an element in the political technology of the body and of duration, does not culminate in a beyond, but tends toward a subjection that has never reached its limit.”
I was going to change my life, but then Foucault told me not to. (via igather)
Exercise—being the nexus of control, panopticonial viewing, sex, madness, and punishment—should represent everything Foucault works on. HOWEVER, it should be noted that Foucault rarely heaps abuse on the objects he studies being a mere archaeologist and de-coalescer of historiological events and teleological accidents. I say—go for it.
