Abstract
RESUMO Este texto tem como objetivo oferecer uma releitura do conceito de autoria de Michel Foucault, definido e comentado a partir de três textos fundamentais: A Arqueologia do Saber, O que é um autor? e A Ordem do Discurso. A hipótese é de que a autoria pode ser lida como um dispositivo – o dispositivo da autoria ou autoral – e que, dessa perspectiva, pode ser problematizado a partir do conceito de resistência e da preocupação ética do chamado “último Foucault”. Para defender tal hipótese, recorre-se inicialmente à descrição do conceito do dispositivo e do conceito de autoria, na arqueogenealogia e segundo alguns comentadores. Depois, traça-se uma discussão entre o dispositivo da autoria e as possibilidades de resistência e de criação subjetiva, presentes em conceitos como epimeleia heautou, crítica ou dessubjetivação. Por fim, sugere-se que o dispositivo da autoria pode ser lido ainda foucaultianamente, desde que segundo a ordem de uma política e de uma luta agonística entre os viventes e os dispositivos.
Highlights
“What is authoring?” Here’s a question that, at least since the last half of the twentieth century, has marked both the fields of language studies and the said “humanities” and philosophy
We refer to a general review of the author’s concept of the itinerary in archeogenealogy, to assume the hypothesis suggested by Roger Chartier, who says that authorship could configure an apparatus – the apparatus of authorship1
One of the chapters of The Will to Knowledge carries the title of dispositif – in the original French version, Le Dispositif de Sexualité (FOUCAULT, 1980), it was in an interview for the International Psychoanalytical Association, in 1977, that he talked about the concept: What I’m trying to single out with this term is, first and foremost, a thoroughly heterogeneous set consisting of discourses, institutions, architectural forms, regulatory decisions, laws, administrative measures, scientific statements, philosophical, moral, and philanthropic
Summary
■■ ABSTRACT: This paper aims to offer a new reading of the notion of authorship in Michel Foucault, defined and discussed from three fundamental texts: The Archaeology of Knowledge, What is an author? and The Discourse Order. The hypothesis is that authorship can be read as an apparatus and, from this perspective, it may be questioned from the concept of resistance and ethical concern the so-called “final Foucault”. To defend this hypothesis, we resort to the first apparatus concept description and the concept of authorship in archaegenealogy and according to some commentators. Draws up an argument between the apparatus of authorship and the possibilities of resistance and subjective creation, present in concepts like epimeleia heautou, criticism or unsubjectivation. It is suggested that the authorship can be read since after the politics order of a policy and a fight between the subject and apparatus.
