Foucault, repressive hypothesis

>>7620689
can you rephrase your questions? he doesnt state that no repression took place; he agrees that there were a lot of prohibitions and silences placed upon sexuality, but at the same time many different political, social, scientific, etc. institutions created new discourses on sexuality. for example, open discussion of sex became increasingly taboo, roughly after the council of trent - however, later in the 19th century, to give one example of one of those ''new discourses''i mentioned, you have psychiatry creating new sexual identities, endlessly recording testimonies about sexual experiences, and so on, producing scientific knowledge.

i dont really follow the rest of your post. he says its too simplistic to attribute the development of attitudes towards sexuality to capitalism, although he's definitely not dismissive of its effects (and the relation of capitalism to sexuality/biopolitics is hard to uncover in foucault's work, in my opinion, because he nuances the relationship continually in other works, notably his late 70s lectures)
