:(

im really struggling with this essay. it's autobiographical and i just dont know how honest to be. It's hard becuase alot of how my faith has survived over the years to me somewhat proves that it's not purely a product of discourse. But there's too much personal stuff that i don't think i have the stomach to write in an academic essay, debasing it in order to argue with the likes of Foucault. And I'm just not sure it would be right anyway. some of the stuff is just too black and it's the past and needs to stay there. sigh. i just don't know where to begin.

and im tempted to give up.

Have you read Meltdown by Honeysett?

although most of foucaults stuff is rubbish there is also sense in some of the stuff he says.

yeah, i have read meltdown. Marcus is helpful to a point but, I think he would agree with me when i say that it's not really indepth enough. it gives a helpful launch pad for understanding what these theorists are about and a christian response but doesnt engage closely and critically enough in a way that i need.

that's not be slagging off the book btw!
