A arqueologia e a política do antihumanismo

The article proposes to interpret Archeology as a practice by analyzing it as a method that aims not only to circumscribe the discursive fields that make possible the knowledge of each time, but also to define what, at its extreme limit, is thinkable. For Foucault it was essential to make possible the “unthinkable ” through the experience of difference. We intend to identify in Foucault this movement of thought, which a certain academic tradition has identified as “ anti-humanism” theorists, by describing the anthropological circle that characterizes the modern episteme in “The order of things”, Foucault's consequent critique of this problem and his later solution in texts that begin his genealogical course.
