One Thing In Any Case Is Certain:

People Will Be Surprised At The Eagerness With Which We Went Aboutpretending To Rouse From Its Slumber A Sexuality Which Every­thing-our Discourses, Our Customs, Our Institutions, Our Regulations, Our Knowledges-was Busy Producing In The Light Of Day And Broadcasting To Noisy Accompaniment.

Little Information Is Published On Prisons, It Is One Of The Hidden Regions Of Our Social System, One Of The Dark Zones Of Our Life.

What Makes Power Hold Good, What Makes It Accepted, Is Simply The Fact That It Doesn't Only Weigh On Us As A Force That Says No, But That It Traverses And Produces Things, It Induces Pleasure, Forms Knowledge, Produces Discourse. It Needs To Be Considered As A Productive Network Which Runs Through The Whole Social Body, Much More Than As A Negative Instance Whose Function Is Repression

If Repression Has Indeed Been The Fundamental Link Between Power, Knowledge, And Sexuality Since The Classical Age, It Stands To Reason That We Will Not Be Able To Free Ourselves From It Except At A Considerable Cost.

Withdraw Allegiance From The Old Categories Of The Negative (law, Limit, Castration, Lack, Lacuna), Which The Western Thought Has So Long Held Sacred As A Form Of Power And An Access To Reality. Prefer What Is Positive And Multiple, Difference Over Uniformity, Flows Over Unities, Mobile Arrangements Over Systems. Believe That What Is Productive Is Not Sedentary But Nomadic.
