Abstract

Foucault se u Americi kasnih šezdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, kao intelektualna zvijezda, pojavljuje u trenutku kada lijevi spektar akademske zajednice traži teoriju koja bi na sveobuhvatan način mogla objasniti probleme specifične za američko društvo, ne oslanjajući se na marksističke koncepte poput klase. U svojoj briljantnim radovima, Michel Foucault nudi jedan novi način koncipiranja lijeve političke misli, temeljene na pojedincu i njegovoj potrazi za samo-transformacijom koja je lako primjenjiva na šire probleme američke kulture. Međutim, njegov utjecaj se polako širi na sve društvene znanosti, koje njegove koncepte, i metode, njegov jezik, počinju primjenjivati na sve aspekte društva i društvenih odnosa. Autorica u radu traži genezu Foucaultove popularnosti u Americi i pokazuje kako su brojni autori iz raznih polja društvenih znanosti adaptirali njegove koncepte moći - znanja, diskursa i subjekta, koje su zatim nadograđivali svojim vlastitim doprinosima, stvarajući temelje razvoja novih disciplina poput queer teorije, post-kolonijalne teorije i kritičke rasne teorije koje zajednički nazivamo identitetskim politikama. Specifično, autorica pokušava odgovoriti na pitanje kako je i zašto Michel Foucault utjecao na oblikovanje specifičnog političkog jezika kojim se služe identitetske politike.

Abstract (english)

Foucault emerged as an intellectual star in 1960s America at a time when the left spectrum of academia was seeking a theory that could comprehensively explain problems specific to American society without relying on Marxist concepts such as class. In his brilliant work, Michel Foucault offers a new way of conceiving left-wing political thought, based on the individual and his quest for self-transformation, that is easily applicable to the wider problems of American culture. However, his influence is slowly spreading to all social sciences, which are beginning to apply his concepts, methods and language to all aspects of society and social relations. The author seeks the genesis of Foucault's popularity in America and shows how different authors from various fields of social sciences have adapted his concepts of power - knowledge, discourse and subject, and upgraded them with their own contributions, laying the foundations for new disciplines such as queer theory, post- colonial theories and critical racial theories that we now collectively call identity politics. Specifically, the author tries to answer the question of how and why Michel Foucault influenced the shaping of the specific political language used by identity politics.
