Siniša Malešević (2022) Are We All Foucauldians Now? “Culture Wars” and the Poststructuralist Legacy, Critical Review
DOI: 10.1080/08913811.2022.2122171
ABSTRACT
Michel Foucault’s philosophy has recently come under sharp criticism across the political spectrum. While right-wing and centrist commentators identify Foucault as the intellectual progenitor of “woke” dogmatism and an irrationalist hostility to science, left-wing critics associate his work with neoliberalism and animosity towards the welfare state. Neither critique is grounded in an accurate understanding of the epistemological motivation of Foucault’s project.
Keywords: Foucault, culture wars, identity politics, power, poststructuralism
