Descrição
Resumo:This text approaches the contribution of Michel Foucault’s works to historiography, situating it in his own conception of history, from either epistemological or political point of view. This text analyzes how, in the center of Foucault’s practice of historiography, is the image of the game, the representation of society and the past as fields crossed by movements and confrontations of the social forces and by their acts of simulation, production of knowledge and subjectivities. History as knowledge and life is a game, is agony, is luck, is masqued, is faint, is cut, is suffering and joy, is laughter and pain.
