  1. Foucault propagated the notion that prevailing social attitudes are manipulated by the power structures both to define social categories such as insanity, illness, sexuality and criminality, and to use these in turn to identify and oppress the 'deviants' . This is in line with his perception in tracing historically assumptions about what constituted 'knowledge' at any one time and determining it was both relatavistic and cynical. That is as far as I can go as I am not familiar with Baudrillard.
