Complete essay: Hans V Mathews: pdf

 
Michel Foucault Las Meninas by Diego Velázquez
 
 

Michel Foucault is still one of the writers and thinkers most cited by cultural theorists. One of his key works, The Order of Things, begins with an essay interpreting Diego Velázquez's painting Las Meninas which became hugely influential in how art history developed in the 20th Century. The following essay is in three parts and the first two are exercises in 'hostility' because the author tries to show that Foucault's essay, as the piece of discursive writing it is taken to be, is not coherent and cannot sustain the meanings attributed to it. In the third section, however, he comes around to showing us what Foucault really was: an extraordinarily flamboyant literary performer and perhaps a poet.
