Hi, Can't say I agree that Foucault was talking about confessions are a place where we recover our 'true selves', but then again I haven't looked at that book for quite a while. I tried to analyse relations of power, using Foucault and other theories of power/knowledge/subjectivity, and their inter-relations in terms of generating selves, collectives and imaginaries. (Cyberpower it's called) I can't see any space for 'true selves' outside all these circuits of power, only places for different constructions of selves and societies generating different types of societies and selves. Sorry if I've mistaken your take on Foucault, re-reading your post I'm not sure if you mean confessions produce true selves or if cyber-confessions may be able to do so. Tim Jordan
