Title of the paper : Truth, Politics and Inconformity
Author or topic : Foucault, Michel
‘...if
you are not like everybody else, then you are abnormal, if you are abnormal,
then you are sick. These three categories, not being like everybody else, not
being normal and being sick are in fact very different but have been reduced to
the same thing'

Roger-Pol Droit (ed.), Michel
Foucault, entretiens.
Abstract : I begin
my hypertext about Michel Foucault with his biography. But as soon
as I started surfing the net, I have found a lot of interesting material about
his important contribution in different
works and studies
that are based on Foucault’s topics; and to understand his philosophy and his
message is important to know the key concepts
which are words and phrases used by him in his works. He wrote many
essays about postmodernism, madness, psychology and social criticism. I have
also taken on account the websites dedicated to Foucault and there are also
many works that are inspired in his philosophy. A
good example is “The foucauldian” which is one of these sites that joins all
his works (or the most important ones) in one list. Lectures were also
important in Michel’s life.
Constantly he talks about the Parrhesia
(truth). Foucault was a political person and he took part in the Communist Party
which he left after a while. In this first paper (and it is also the first time
I produce one) you can also find a non-foucouldian history or biography about him.
He was a very wide thinker and he studied a variety of
themes that goes from madness to sexuality and analysed the reality through
archaeologist of modernity. Not only there are web talking about Foucault’s
works and philosophy but also I have found an interesting web that talks about “dichos
y equivocos” about the myth that surrounds his
public life. There are many transcriptions of interviews made to Foucault. Some
are really interesting. Newspapers’ articles
about this author are a bit more difficult to find but are included in this
paper. In conclusion, I have known Foucault, and I’m glad that I have known it.
