  • Foucault contre lui-même

    Leo BersaniBOOKFoucault contre lui-même2014

    Michel Foucault n’aura cessé, à mesure qu’il élaborait son œuvre, de repenser sa démarche, ses problèmes, de rompre avec ses propres paradigmes et concepts. Ne peut-on pas voir son œuvre comme une succession de ruptures et de discontinuités ? Impliqué dans des mouvements politiques qu’il a plus tard remis en question, se revendiquant « structuraliste » pour ensuite s’en défendre, moquant parfois ses propres ouvrages, Foucault s’est, à chaque étap…

    Leo Bersani, Bersani et al.ARTICLECritical Inquiry2006Cited by: 10

    With each step of our reading so far, we have descended further into the psyche—moving from the young man’s conscious desire for Yvonne, to a fantasy about her that he inscribes on the external world, and finally to a psychic terror of the individual psyche itself being engulfed in a slough of undifferentiated being. In this cave of interiority, the world as world is left behind just as surely as it no longer exists in the prehistoric caves where…

    Tim Dean, Hal Foster et al.ARTICLEOctober1997Cited by: 6

    Hal Foster: I thought we could begin with the topos of failure. It is a primary subject of your recent work: a critique of redemptive practices in The Culture of Redemption [1990]; an argument for impotent aesthetics in the recent book coauthored with Ulysse Dutoit, Arts of Impoverishment [1993]; an analysis of failed subjectivity in Homos [1995]. But it is a principal method as well: for example, in The Freudian Body [1986] you focus on the poin…

    Leo BersaniARTICLEOctober1984Cited by: 2

    These questions have recently been raised by Michel Foucault not primarily, however, with intention, or hope, of answering them, but rather in order to define strategic benefits derived from failure to ask them, from creation of and sexuality as categories of nature rather than of culture. If sexuality, Michel Foucault writes in volume of his History of Sexuality, constituted as an area of investigation, this was only because relations of power h…
