I am currently taking taking a Philosophy class and we have been studying Post-modernism,Post-modern feminism,along with Post-colonialism.In essence,Foucault,Brison,and Gandhi. I am particularly fond of Foucault and I am currently reading "The History of Sexuality" and also "Aftermath" by Susan Brison.I am interested in the INTJ perspective on these philosophers and that means YOU.Fire away....

Foucault is one of my favourite thinkers. Just recently read his "Birth of the Clinic". Not really a postmodernist work, though. I am incorporating the idea of the "gaze" in a piece that I'm writing. Unfortunately he expresses himself obscurely, and I usually read him in the original language, which cuts both ways (it expresses his thoughts as he wrote them, but my French is not perfect). His work on power is very important to me.

'You don't think post-modernism, post-modernism thinks you.'
