Annotation

Last update: PhDr. Barbora Štolleová, Ph.D. (16.09.2019)

The aim of the class is to present the work of Michel Foucault in context of his life and evolution of postmodern thought. In the first part of semester attention will be paid to the methodology of structuralist historiography, to Foucault’s archaeological approaches and to the nature of three main topics of his work – madness, prison and sexuality. The second part of semester will be focused on the metanarrative of Foucault’s works in relation to sociocultural extent of his present – the conception of discourse as an instrument of power or the limits of relation between the subjects and modernity.
