DEFINITION COMMENTS: Foucault, with his... famous phrase “Where there is power, there is resistance” (1978:95), moves toward “a new economy of power relations” that consists of “using resistance as a chemical catalyst so as to bring to light power relations, locate their position, and find out their point of application and the methods used. Rather than analyzing power from the point of view of its internal rationality, it consists of analyzing power relations through the antagonism of strategies”(1983). -Foucault, M., 1976, History of Sexuality, vol. 1, trans.
