    • These basic responses are an updated version of the logic that, according to Cindy Patton, underwrote first-wave safe-sex education campaigns that identified members of "risk groups" (gays, intravenous drug users, etc.) as opposed to an undifferentiated "everybody else." Patton, Fatal Advice: How Safe-Sex Education Went Wrong (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1996). One problem with this way of thinking is that it perpetuates a specific form of epistemological violence that, in its need to identify those at risk, discursively produces sexual subjects who, by definition, are categorically different from the undifferentiated subjects who occupy the political center

    • It is for such reasons that Foucault could argue that the rise of biopolitics is closely linked with the advent of capitalism: "Bio-power was without question an indispensable element in the development of capitalism; the latter would not have been possible without the controlled insertion of bodies into the machinery of production and the adjustment of the phenomena of population to economic processes."
