The piece my group and I picked is "From The History of Sexuality" by Michel Foucault. This piece
relates to Queer Theory. He begins to talk about how power is misunderstood by society. Mostly trying to explain sexuality government wise. How the government always had the last word in sexuality. In other words how people didn't really have a say on how and what they wanted to do with their sexuality. But he didn't only mean government wise but also the way people see other people just because of their sex. Or how they get the wrong interpretations when they take power and decide the sex like for some one. That is what he meant to say about power that many people see this word as the government for example but in reality it's who ever is decided the type of sex for the person is who really has the power. Foucault broke this explanation down in 5 parts and each relates to the his meaning of power. My group and I have decided to incorporate this with the meaning from Queer Theory that we got from the lit. crit. book. So basically squeeze some of Foucault explanation to what the actual theory means.
