“The demand [exigence] for an identity,” he insisted, “and the injunction to break that identity, both feel, in the same way, abusive.” Such demands are abusive because they assume in advance what one is, what one must do, what one always must be closed to, what side one must be on. He sought not so much to resist as to evade this installed dichotomy. One might say he refused the blackmail of having to choose between a unified, unchanging identity and a stance of perpetual and obligatory transgression. “One’s way [façon] of no longer remaining the same,” he wrote, “is, by definition, the most singular part of who I am.” - Michel Foucault
