Abstract
— In your work you have often referred to Foucault. Do you want to explain how his work has been of paramount importance for you? What are the aspects of his thought that you feel are closest and most relevant to your own, and what, conversely, are the areas where you feel most distanced from Foucault’s positions? Are there specific junctures in Foucault’s work that you find produce an impasse for your reflections?
