   • There are many “Foucaults” — whether they are all texts, or features in a network of institutional power, a régime of truth and knowledge, or the discourse of the author and his works. Personalities like Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) silenced condemnation of madness. He abolished régimes of silence that reformers had employed. He made the mad talk. But he also developed the structure which included the medical personage — him — as omnipotent and quasi-divine. 1997: Chris Horrocks, Introducing Foucault, pages 5 and 46 (Totem Books, Icon Books; →ISBN)
