Rice University Owls football player Gary Butler
No full textBlack and white photograph of Rice University Owls football player Gary Butler, class of 1973, accompanied by text headlining his achievement and entry into the Rice Athletic Hall of Fame.Caption reads: Rice has had a host of exceptional ends, and this man was one of the best with a bunch of honors to prove it! Gary Butler was a second-team all-America tight end in 1972. In almost any other year he would have been a consensus first-team all-America, but that year was the season when Southern Cal pushed Charles Young as its top star while number one in the nation. As it was, Gary was the first NFL draft choice of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1973 draft and started for coach Hank Stram’s Chiefs as a rookie in 1973. Despite a knee injury, Butler stayed in the NFL through 1977 with the Chiefs, Chicago Bears, Oakland, and Tampa Bay. His Rice years from fall of 1969 to spring of 1973 were good ones despite a flurry of grid coaching changes to play under Bo Hagan, Bill Peterson, and Al Conover. He led the Owls in receiving in 1971 and 1972 (also leading the conference in receiving that latter year) and was an all-SWC tight end and the recipient of the coveted George Martin Award as Owl MVP as a senior in 1972. In post-season action, he played in the North-South All-Star game, the Senior Bowl, and the Chicago All-Star game. Although he now lives in Aurora, Colorado, the big redhead was born in Houston and grew up in nearby Conroe. His birthdate is January 11, 1951. It was a recruiting coup for Rice in the transition period from Emmett Brunson to Augie Erfurth as track coach when the Owls got the blue chip duo of state pole vault champion Dave Roberts and state discus champion Butler from Conroe in 1969. Roberts went on to become the world record holder, while Butler competed brilliantly in track and football for the Owls. Butler has used his Rice education to good advantage as he now owns a petroleum landman consulting business, the Contex Energy Company; in Denver, while living in suburban Aurora. He married the former Libby Flower in 1975, and the couple has been blessed with three children in Katie (12), Blake (7), and Crokett (5). The husky redhead does some gardening, plays golf, and teaches his kids a bit of baseball. Now that he lives in Colorado he has taken up snow skiing, though he notes “I found out a mountain hits harder than any Aggie linebacker.” A splendid athlete who made his mark with the pros, and then did well in business and as a fine family man, Gary Butler of the 1972 Owls is a worth addition to the Rice Athletic Hall of Fame.Rice Athletic Hall of Fam
Michel Foucault and Judith Butler: troubling Butler's appropriation of Foucault's work
No full textOne of the main influences on Judith Butler‘s thinking has been the work of Michel Foucault. Although this relationship is often commented on, it is rarely discussed in any detail. My thesis makes a contribution in this area. It presents an analysis of Foucault‘s work with the aim of countering Butler‘s representation of his thinking. In the first part of the thesis, I show how Butler initially interprets Foucault‘s project through Nietzschean genealogy, psychoanalysis and Derridean discourse, and how she later develops this interpretation in line with the progress of her own project. In the main part of the thesis, I present an analysis of Foucault‘s thinking in the period from The Archaeology of Knowledge (1969) to The History of Sexuality volume 1 (1976). This analysis focuses on the aspect of his work which has most influenced Butler‘s thinking: namely the notion of a relationship between knowledge, discourse and power. The other issues in his work which Butler addresses—genealogy, the subject, the body, abnormality, and sexuality—are discussed within this framework. I show how, in the early 1970s, Foucault develops the notion of power-knowledge, and sets out a relationship between power-knowledge and discourse which is overlooked by Butler. I argue that Butler interprets Foucaultian power through the notions of repression and social norms, and ignores the concepts of technology and strategy which form a key part of Foucault‘s thinking. I show how, from The Archaeology of Knowledge on, Foucault develops a socio-historical ontology and a genealogy of the subject, both of which are at variance with Butler‘s interpretation of his thinking
