foucault's quebec dilemma

Regarding the recent revelation of Foucault 's visit to McGill University and his meetings with Quebec separatists, I am struck by the ambiguous nature of his involvement. [!NOTE] The context of this event is crucial, as it highlights the complexities of deterritorialization and the formation of rhizomatic connections. In light of this, I question the extent to which Foucault 's theories on power and knowledge were influenced by his interactions with the separatist movement. [!IMPORTANT] The non-negotiable principle here is that power is not held by a single entity, but rather is diffused throughout the social landscape, waiting to be mapped and challenged.
