Knowledge/Power

Knowledge/Power

Welcome to John Edward Campbell's home for free range thought.

There is no need for arms, physical violence, material constraints. Just a gaze. An inspecting gaze, a gaze which each individual under its weight will end by interiorising to the point that he is his own overseer, each individual thus exercising this surveillance over, and against, himself.

-Michel Foucault, Power/Knowledge (1972)

News & Announcements

Read the unedited version of my premier column in the new national lifestyle magazine speaking to the interests of the gay-male "bear" community, A Bear's Life, posted on the News and Updates page.

Getting It On Online: Cybersapce, Gay Male Sexuality, and Embodied Identity has been receiving strong reviews and I will be appearing on the VoiceAmerican Internet radio network this coming summer to discuss the book.

Virtually Home Online Survey: If you frequent an affinity portal -- also known as "community sites" -- I am very interested in your responses to this online survey. The survey will play a key role in my second book project, helping me to understand why people patronize these corporate portals targeted at the women and racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities. The survey is available here.
