A fellow intellectual, Guy Sorman, has unleashed a storm among Parisian “intellos” with his claim that Foucault, who died in 1984 aged 57, was a paedophile rapist who had sex with Arab children while living in Tunisia in the late 1960s.

>Sorman, 77, said he had visited Foucault with a group of friends on an Easter holiday trip to the village of Sidi Bou Said, near Tunis, where the philosopher was living in 1969. “Young children were running after Foucault saying ‘what about me? take me, take me’,” he recalled last week in an interview with The Sunday Times.

>“They were eight, nine, ten years old, he was throwing money at them and would say ‘let’s meet at 10pm at the usual place’.” This, it turned out, was the local cemetery: “He would make love there on the gravestones with young boys. The question of consent wasn’t even raised.”

So how many kids did he give aids to?

rough because Foucault is like the grand-daddy of anticolonialism, which is the intellectual underpinning of the entire neoliberal cultural program.
Not that anyone gives a shit, they can and do freely cancel their own so long as a contributor's sufficient purpose has been served, but if anyone ever decides to keep score they might find that everyone who originated the movement has been rejected by the movement.

The complete opposite of what a Nietzschean would say. I didn't read D&P but I don't think it has a thesis, it's a historical account and Foucault wasn't a liberal. He thought liberalism was just as oppressive as totalitarian regimes.

I don't think the fact that he self-describes as a Nietzschean accouonts for his thesis either.
All I've read is DP and a few portions of hx of sexuality so I'm not claiming to actually understand him, and I avoid humanities journals and pubs in general, but I don't think the idea that Foucault is one of the founders of anticolonial thought which served as a framework for neoliberal cultural ideology is too controversial.
Maybe some other anons who have actually studied this shit can chime in and provide some clarity.

[Anonymous No.18166702]

>>18166659
I think it's fair to say that we was a neoliberal, therefore economically conservative (see his support for Reagan), but from a social standpoint he certainly was a liberal (or at the very least what we would call "progressive"). For example his pro-LBTQ stance is 100% in line with most contemporary liberal thought (and the repression of these groups would have been deemed negatively by him). As such he is less of a Nietzschean people give him credit for: in Foucault there is still a remnant of normative morality, usually articulated as a defense of those who are weak and oppressed

What do you think of Nietzsche's "pro-LGBTQ" stance:
>The erotic relation of men to youths was the necessary and sole preparation, to a degree unattainable to our comprehension, of all manly education (pretty much as for a long time all higher education of women was only attainable through love and marriage). All idealism of the strength of the Greek nature threw itself into that relation, and it is probable that never since have young men been treated so attentively, so lovingly, so entirely with a view to their welfare (virtus) as in the fifth and sixth centuries B.C.

no doubt. the notion that children are asexual is ludicrous. I can personally attest that I have been horny since I've started to from memories. I loved playing with my shota dick, I loved looking at hot women, even as a 5 year old, and would have killed to fuck a grown woman when I was tiny. A few years ago I watched Shakira's Wherever Whenever video and I had a vivid flashback to my childhood, when I used to watch it. I suddenly remembered how horny I got when I watched that video and how I've always been filled with an unquenchable desire to fuck women, even before I knew what fucking was. Started jerking off when I was ( too, but only because no one showed me how earlier. If I had been lucky, an adult would have introduced me to masturbation and pornography when I was in kindergarten. I wish an adult had the grace to have fulfilled my wishes back then. I wish some experienced adult had taken my virginity before my 8th birthday

such as the fact that if they can't consent despite all appearances (i.e. take me take me) the only reasonable conclusion is that they don't have the capacity to understand the power dynamics, thus they can't consent. okay, fine. the problem is, sex isn't the only relation that has unequal power dynamics. especially when it comes to kids. School, parenting, doctors appointments. All have unequal power dynamics. If they can't understand or consent to them, children should not be allowed to attend school, be raised by adults, or get medical care. They do these things, thus they can consent even to things they don't neccessarily understand. However normies think sex is icky because despite their apparent aversion to christianity and its fundamentalism, they view sex through a christian fundamentalist lens, where sex is always bad.

Using aspects of Nietzsche's ideas doesn't mean he agrees wholesale with everything Nietzsche said. Foucault and other leftists who appropriate Nietzsche focus on his criticism of Christian morality and emphasis on the body but dismiss the aristocratic themes and vitality.
It's the same as Hegel having both left and right Hegelianism following his steps. When you're an influential philosopher, people read you however they want.

The article doesn't actually debunk shit. He was a pedophile. His defenders are pedophiles. It's that simple. Was he a child molester? Who knows, but he was certainly a pedophile. The article's author is attempting to jam in some polysemy by restructuring the petitions as attempted liberation, when in reality the children of '68 were by and large concerned with upbraiding the normative, including a dismissal of anti-kid-fiddling and moral guardians that opposed.

yeah, under the "but its unequal power relations!" argument lies the weird presupposition that power inbalances equals automatically bad. If we took this as an argument, then parenting would be forbidden. Of course what they mean is that its harmful to the children. But then again, there are many cases where its not.

Children can't consent. It's not a didactic issue, it's deontological. The legality, or lack thereof, isn't relevant with regard to the Trauma Myth (2009), it's about the Nurture Assumption (1998). Maybe you should consult actual victims? You can tour psych facilities, why not do a little field-work and discover what molestation/rape do to real children in the real world?

I'm not denying that people who were raped as children, or who had sex with adults as children are facing issues today. When it comes to rape, I agree, it's always harmful. But if you're a kid and an adult has sex with you and you agree in the moment and maybe even enjoy it, growing up and viewing it as trauma only happens because others tell you that what happened to you, something you may have enjoyed even, was rape/abuse, then of course you'll end up facing the same issues as children that were actually raped/abused. That's why I said it's brainwashing. They get brainwashed into believing they were harmed as kids when they may not have been. Our attitude towards consent and child sexuality plays a deciding role in the problems that children who had sex with or were raped by adults face. Plus, the whole concept of inability to consent has issues in itself

[Anonymous No.18174233]

>>18174219
also, children are harmed all the time by things they don't (or can't, although I wouldn't say can't) consent to. But in most instances that aren't sexual, it's seen as unproblematic because the parents/guardians consent FOR them. See violent movies. No doubt detrimental to a child's mental health, yet if a parent permits their child to view a violent movie, that's seen as the parents choice and right

Mate, let me be real with you on the basket-weaving forum. I work with children (5-12) and adolescents (13-17) both inpatient and outpatient. You will never convince me, or any provider with routine interaction and the requisite credentials, that this is applicable or even domain-specific with regard to therapy. Never. Stop shilling this shit. The entire premise is one of children as preternatural adults. You may not realize this, but the typical child acts by way of naive theory, not because of knowledge deficits, but because of their age. They analogize because ontological distinction requires category sampling (see: personification, animism, theory of mind). The developmental markers are a very real, very relevant thing in medicine. That's all there is to it. Clancy's arguments aren't relevant, they're pop-psych pseud-shit meant to comfort relativists and adults.

so what you're saying is kids can't consent. okay. to what? to sex only? why is sex special then. if it's not sex only (it isn't, because we don't allow children to consent to, say, labor contracts) then they can't consent to a whole host of things, including being treated by medical professionals

See: Salgo v. Leland Stanford Jr. University Board of Trustees (1957); Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. Usually, they can't really consent to anything. Assuming you're in the US, I suggest you review the relevant laws regarding treatment by state (they differ). Where their consent is considered appropriate, there are additional requirements that stipulate a forfeiture of placement (DCS/Wards - for instance, Cal. Family Code § 6928 in relation to Cal. Penal §
11167 and 11167.5), reporting or guardianship. Where I'm based, parents/DCFS don't require a minors consent for treatment (mental health).

not who you replied to, but thank you for your real reply. My mom works as a pediatrician, and nowadays they're essentially primary care for child psychiatry, but I've never asked her about this stuff. Do you mean that since children lack specifc modes of thought (before developmental markers) they're unable to consent to anything in general?
