In 1973, in The Anxiety of Influence, Bloom introduced his "Six Revisionary Ratios," an odd assortment of terms and concepts wrenched out of their contexts in classical antiquity and turned into intimidating jargon: Clinamen, Tessera, Kenosis, Doemonization, Askesis, Apophrades. [16] In the books, articles, interviews, and lectures of his later years, Foucault focuses more and more on a re-envisioned, non-aristocratic, and positive askesis that defies the forms of asceticism emerging near the end of classical Greece and Rome and throughout Christian history. |
