>tfw Foucault's reading of Don Quixote is a million times better than Harold Bloom's
>tfw the Grossman translation of Don Quixote is forever shitstained by Bloom's meandering Hamlet fanfiction taking up the first 16% of its pages
>tfw Bloom is a slavish devotee of Freudianism, an academic fad just as bad as, if not worse than the Foucauldian poststructuralism he always bitches about
>tfw Foucault literally fucks Harold Bloom in the ass
literally
freud wasn't wrong though
If Foucault is so good, why is Brazil one of the most violent countries in the world?
Most of our jurists, judges and other law-related intellectuals are influenced by him, law enforcement outside police work itself is heavily influenced by his penal abolishment ideas, with judges letting criminals go free because they are merely victims of society.
We should be an utopia by now.

Where do I read Foucault's take on Don Quixote?
>Foucault BTFO Bloom
Not surprised desu. Of all the (post) structuralist theory out there, Foucault is special imo.

it's nearly impossible to understand without the context of reading chapter 2 first
and chapter 2 is nearly impossible to understand

Par for the course for Foucault. I'm actually reading Don Quixote now, which is why I asked. I planned on eventually reading Order of Things eventually anyway, so this is a nice excuse to read it soon.
