Towards a Philosophy of the Present: Foucauldian drifts
Keywords:
philosophy, FoucaultSynopsis
Anniversaries are often an occasion to reinterpret the lives and journeys of those who have left their mark on us, and Michel Foucault is a thinker whose reflections and intellectual practices in Argentina and around the world continue to influence our own. For this reason, and 40 years after his death, we are interested in promoting a dialogue about how Foucault influenced our practice as creators of and within philosophy. He touched us in terms of how he influenced our thinking, our production, our keys to reading the world; and he touched us through the historical moment, through teachers who brought us closer to his work and the possibilities of inquiring into his thinking.
This publication constitutes a possible dialogue, perhaps not always manifest, between people who were trained in the sometimes permeable margins of academic philosophy. It is the beginning of a timeless conversation that, in the act of making these discussions public, brings together readings on the power of Foucault's thought. In these troubled times, we call for the creation of this book as a document of our era, an attempt at intergenerational dialogue. In these pages, we invite you to be moved by situated, critical, seasoned thinking. By reflections that open doors, build disciplinary bridges, and escape certain normative frameworks that circumscribe ascetic philosophical practice.
