MICHEL FOUCAULT AND THE MATRYOSHKA – THERUSSIAN DOLL EFFECT

摘要

THE PRESENT STUDY (AS A RESULT OF THE COMMUNICATION PRESENTED AT THEINTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ?FOUCAULT POST MORTEM?, STRASBOURG UNIVERSITY, 25-26JUNE 2014) HOLDS THE CONVICTION THAT MICHEL FOUCAULT IS A POSTSTRUCTURALIST (WITHINFRASTRUCTURAL ACCENTS) DESPITE ALL THE RECYCLING/BORROWINGS HE OPERATED IN ANDWITHIN POSTMODERNITY.SUCH A STATEMENT IS BACKED BY THE LIMITS/EVIDENCE WHICH SHOWS THAT FOUCAULT ISNEITHER FOR NOR AGAINST EXPOSING THE SUPPRESSED DISCOURSE OF AND IN MODERNITY, INTHE SENSE OF A SEPARATION FROM THE TRUTH WITH THE AIM OF CONNECTING TO ADISCIPLINARY DEVICE WITH NODAL POINTS WITHIN THE ABNORMAL AND NORMALIZINGALTERITY. FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW A WHOLE FEMINIST, NEO-HISTORICAL AND/OR POSTCOLONIAL RANGE OF CONCEPTS APPEARS, CONTAMINATING THE FOUCAULT-IAN ENDEAVORAND MAKING IT VULNERABLE TO POSTMODERN LABELING.WE CONSIDER THAT BEYOND A DUAL EXISTENCE, THE ENSIGN ONE CAN ATTRIBUTE TOFOUCAULT IN AN (NON)SYMBOLIC NOTE, IS THAT OF RUSSIAN DOLL (MATRYOSHKA).
