Abstract
AbstractThis article aims to illustrate the relevance of Michel Foucault's thought for contemporary political reflection. Once beyond the archaeological dead-end, Foucault's project has taken the shape of genealogical analyses of a number of elements of modernity: the tendency towards homogenization, the emergence of a complex of bio-power and the constitution of human beings as subjects and objects. This enterprise makes it possible to conceive of the actual existence of a strategy of normalization. Foucault's last two books can be interpreted in the sense of this possibility. Finally, the examination of criticisms addressed to Foucault leads to the clarification of his vision of the role of the intellectual.
