Michel Foucault

Forfatterbiografi

Michel Foucault (født 15. oktober 1926 i Poitiers, Frankrig, død 25. juni 1984 i Paris) var en fransk filosof og historiker, bredt kendt for at have formet efterkrigstidens human- og samfundsvidenskabelige forskning. Han arbejdede med både strukturalistiske og poststrukturalistiske perspektiver og blev en af de mest indflydelsesrige og omdiskuterede intellektuelle i perioden efter Anden Verdenskrig. Foucaults betydning for litteraturen og læsningen af kultur ligger især i hans analyser af, hvordan viden og magt skaber bestemte måder at tale om mennesker, normer og identiteter. Et centralt bidrag er værket The History of Sexuality, hvis første bind udkom i 1976, og som har fået kanonstatus i studier af seksualitet og køn. Hans øvrige omfattende forfatterskab omfatter også skelsættende undersøgelser af institutioner, disciplin og subjektivitet, og han blev i 1969 knyttet til Collège de France, hvor han underviste frem til sin død.
