ABSTRACT
Jana Sawicki describes speaking with Foucault at a seminar in Vermont in 1983:
I told him that I had just finished writing a dissertation on his critique of humanism. Not surprisingly, he responded with some embarrassment and much seriousness. He suggested that I not spend energy talking about him and, instead, do what he was doing, namely, write genealogies.
(Sawicki, 1991, p. 15)
