Ariadna danza: lecturas feministas de Michel Foucault

Abstract

The work of Michel Foucault has been read from a feminist point of view in different ways. Feminist readers of Foucault have different opinions on the relevance & usefulness of Foucault's concepts & analyses. We argue that the dialogue between both positions has been complex but extremely interesting, both for feminist practices & for any analytics of power. In this paper we discuss some of the basic elements of agreement & disagreement that feminist authors have showed with Foucault. We finally argue that reading Foucault's work taking into account its feminist critique may be very useful in developing a deeper analysis of power relations.
