        It seems to me that some of the various definitions used to control
society, as depicted in Marcuse's "One Dimensional Man" seem similar to
Foucault's idea of discursive formations.  In neither case do they have any
real meaning except what is assigned to them.  My point being, does anyone
know of any books or articles which compare the ideas of the two men?
