Abstract

This essay focuses on one comma in Michel Foucault's Histoire de la sexualité and unpacks the methodological and political stakes contained in it. It argues that the semantic status of the comma in the title of the first part of this book – ‘Nous autres, victoriens’ – is highly ambiguous, and that this ambiguity reflects both an innovative aspect of Foucault's study of power and his political critique of sexuality.
