Mathieu Potte‐Bonneville, Michel Foucault’s Bodies, Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology 43, 1 (2012) 1-32
Extract
The case seems settled: both in the field of the social sciences and in the discourses that accompany various contemporary political protests, Michel Foucault’s legacy is that of an eruption of bodies in at least two respects. Firstly, as an object of research, as is shown by the countless studies that borrow, more or less explicitly, from the programme announced in Discipline and Punish and developed in The Will to Knowledge, a programme whose categories are criticized only to better accept its fundamental horizon. This programme comprises a "political history of bodies" that carefully transfers their constitution from nature to history and that underlines how much the definition of their identity and reciprocal relations (whether of class, race or genre) is traversed by various forms of domination.
