Michel Foucault, another strategic disposition of the Social Sciences

Abstract

This paper briefly exposes the goals and contents contained in the special issues "Michel Foucault, another strategic disposition of the Social Sciences". At first, the coordinates from which the monograph and its goals have been conceived are indicated. Appeals to the methodological pluralism of Jean Claude Passeron, to the idea of theory as a 'toolbox', and, above all, we proceed to make explicit the criteria that, as coordinators, we have kept in mind when selecting the articles. Some criteria that seek, not just the commentary on Foucault's work, but the presentation of investigations that have implemented Foucauldian tools in their ways of proceeding, either to show their heuristic performance, or to problematize them and show their limits. In a second moment, the various materials that house this monographic number are indicated, highlighting above all the problems contained in each of the articles.
