lesson 8: new historicism
according to michel foucault, what is power?
○ the way knowledge circulates in a culture
○ the power of vested authorities
○ the power of violence
○ the power of tyranny from above

Explanation:

First Question (True or False)

Jerome McGann's views on New Historicism emphasize the historicity and the context of text production as a key approach for New Historicism scholars in literary review. So the statement is true.

Michel Foucault's concept of power is tied to how knowledge circulates in a culture (through discourse, institutions, etc.). The other options (vested authorities, violence, tyranny from above) represent more traditional or narrow views of power that do not align with Foucault's theory.

Answer:

True
