My first impression:

Mr. Trombadori seems to be quite critical about Foucault's works, he seems to interprete Foucault's view as bleak, and hopelessly pessimistic:

QUOTES: pp. 19

[In Foucault's opinion] the individual is at the same time an "effect" of power and "the element of its articulation." - D. Trombadori

 

QUOTES: pp.20

[Foucault] limits himself to describing a mechanism of pure imprisonment: a "mapping" of power that would hardly know how to replace the antagonism implicit in dialectical criticism. - D. Trombadori
