What does it mean to narrate? More specifically, what does literary narration entail? These are the questions which are tentatively broached in this article. In order to do so, two possible readings of Coetzee's Foe are juxtaposed, the first stemming from a Freudo‐marxist tradition and the second from certain aspects of Foucault's work. The article attempts to show that an understanding of the circulation of narratives necessitates a shift from an analysis of the Symbolic, to an analysis of the mechanisms of power production in narrative discourse. The subject‐object‐body relation then appears as the nexus of the questions of narrativisation, of power and of resistance to power
