Review

• Maybe I am too stupid to understand this? His way of writing is so round-about.
• I wanted to include this theory in relation to the ontological framework I would make regarding my choice of how to structure my DB, but maybe it is too theoretical.
• I feel like this kind of "high-level" theory is necessary for my research to be accepted, but I should think more about exactly how to incorporate it and from what approach to study it. Maybe there is a better theory than Foucault?
