now that's embarrassing ...

In the body of his recent essay 'Must we ourselves not become gods?' The Visual Theories of Foucault, Debord and Baudrillard in Explaining Contemporary Power Structures," published in the International Journal of Baudrillard Studies, Jesse Owen Hearns-Branaman refers to Michel Foucault as Michele Foucault. At least Hearns-Branaman spelled Foucault's first name correctly in the footnotes.

UPDATE 18 August 2008: The editors have corrected the spelling error.

Yes, that is what editors are for, to catch little mistakes like that! Hard to blame the author for everything.

Yes, one must always assign blame. It's a cathartic, healing action.
