Foucault & Sex

topic posted Fri, October 6, 2006 - 9:11 AM by  howie
as if there is nothing more sexier a topic than that!

anyways, i met a friend's friend yesterday from singapore and she spoke of how she was classmates with Annabel Chong the ex-pornstar-turned-web-designer.

apparently, she was a pretty bright gal during her academic years.

this quote tripped me out so i'd thought i'd share it.


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annabel_Chong

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

    I think Annabel Chong is a very intelligent female..in some case more intelligent than many give her credit for. Thats the irony of sex..when you display your body etc...the public forget you have a creative & inventive mind..watching them-watching you.

      which leads me to ask....what would Foucault have said about Annabel? mostly, the contradictions between sex and intellecutal pursuit and how the two are seemingly mutually exclusive.

      i agree Annabel is quite a heady gal. i heard a radio interview of her in NPR and was quite well spoken. she should publish her views someday which would go a long way to debunk the public's perception of her.
