Abstract

This article seeks to provide a set of pointers for methodological reflections on Foucauldian-inspired analyses of the exercise of power. Michel Foucault deliberately eschewed methodological schemata, which may be why so little has been written on the methodological implications of his analyses. While this article shares the premise that we should refrain from a standardized methodology, it argues that providing broad pointers for analyses informed by the critical ambition and conceptual framework offered by Foucault is both desirable and possible. The article then offers some reflections and general guidelines on how to strengthen the methodological quality of Foucauldian analyses. We argue that the quality of Foucauldian-inspired analysis of modern power may gain from methodological reflections around four pointers: curiosity, nominalism, conceptual grounding and exemplarity.
对福柯式分析的方法论反思:采用好奇心、唯名论、概念基础和例证的指针
本文试图为傅对权力行使的启发性分析提供一套方法论反思的指针。米歇尔·福柯有意避开方法论图式,这可能就是为什么很少有人写他的分析的方法论含义。虽然这篇文章有一个共同的前提,即我们应该避免使用标准化的方法论,但它认为,根据福柯提供的批判野心和概念框架,为分析提供广泛的指针是可取的,也是可能的。然后,本文就如何提高傅分析的方法论质量提出了一些思考和一般指导方针。我们认为,受傅启发的现代权力分析的质量可以从围绕四个指针的方法论反思中获得:好奇心、唯名论、概念基础和例证性。
