The paper presents Foucault’s rich historical analyses on various past historical events which he claimed to be the hidden historical materials. Using the archaeological method, particularly on his early works, he tried to dig out all these facts through various archives to see how people in different historical periods thought about them and took action on them. Through such analyses many people consider him to be a historian. However, he is not an historian understood in the traditional sense of the word, but a specific historian, namely the historian of the present.

Since the 1980s, new approaches to theatre historiography, the study of what Sue-Ellen Case has called the “convergence of history and theory,” have begun to arise in a challenge to generally accepted principles of theatre history, such as the supremacy of independent facts, the autonomy of dramatic texts, and the hierarchy of text, performance, and culture. The French critic and philosopher Michel Foucault has pointed out that the grouping and ordering of events into historical periods creates a “space of reference,” which lends some events a heightened meaning, while obscuring or submerging others. In a substantial challenge to traditional methods of theatre history, historiographers influenced by this view have begun to examine the theoretical underpinnings of historical periodization. In theatre theory, Thomas Postlewait has investigated the often unarticulated assumptions by which theatre historians isolate a group of historical events and designate them with period names.Many scholars now center their attention on historical discontinuity: searching for ruptures in the historical narrative, focusing on dynamics which lend instability rather than stability to historical periods, and reconceptualizing temporal historical narratives into spatial relationships. For example, from a perspective of discontinuity, a play is conceived not simply as a fixed entity created at some moment in history, but as a representation of layers of historical influences; likewise, a theatre building is not simply a material location in space, but a physical expression of historically emergent architectural styles and sociopolitical circumstances, and a performance is not simply a translation of a text to the stage, but a collage of past and emergent cultural and aesthetic processes.

The paper shows the transformation of attitudes towards historical events, facts and personalities due to the influence of the thinking paradigms of the modern socio-cultural environment. Objectivity of historical science is a moving thing, because history itself is an organic part of culture, reflecting in its interpretations its mentality and value orientations important for society at a certain period of time. The historical process is a lively cultural stream, filled with unique signs and symbols, ways of demonstration in culture. Modernity determines the attitude of society to the historical process, the importance of personalities and their popularity. Here the historical assessment becomes a reflection of modern realities. We cannot fully feel the influence of the historical character, we can just imagine. We try on the images of the past, fantasize a bit, we give emotions and feelings, including the subjectivity of perception of historical events in modern times. The society draws historical parallels, evaluates the past from the standpoint of the paradigm of thinking that it understands, which leads to the transformation of historical assessments in different historical periods. All of the above, of course, is characteristic of the transformational process of national history, as shown in a number of examples. They reflect the interpretation characteristic of modern society rather than the position of the author. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of the Great Patriotic War, which is necessary to remember to strengthen the unity of the society and to broadcast patriotic values.

Abstract The study deals with forms of the Slovak Republic (1939 – 1945) in Slovak theatre after the year 2000. We currently observe a strong dramaturgical tendency to bring to the stages the reflection of historical events from various historical periods, one of the most depicted being the period of World War II. Its thematics are found in the productions of the original theatrical plays as well as in the dramatisations of literary works. The first part of the study is devoted to delineation of the Slovak Republic (1939 – 1945) in the productions after 2000 (Tiso [Tiso], Stalo sa prvého septembra [It Happened on 1st September], Rabínka [The Female Rabbi], Holokaust [Holocaust], Povstanie [Uprising], Obchod na korze [The Shop on the Parade], Polnočná omša [Midnight Mass], Tichý bič [The Silent Whip], Kým kohút nezaspieva [Until the Cock Sings]). The second part is focused on the analysis of the selected thematic elements offered by the productions falling within this circle and which appear in the new optics of the so-called second generation.

Problematic Situations

This article explicates a valuable but undernoticed point of contact between John Dewey and Michel Foucault. Both agreed that thinking arose in the context of problems such that the work of thought for both proceeds by way of working through and working over problems. Both affirmed that thinking arose in problematic situations; that it was about clarifying those situations, and that ultimately it was directed towards achieving a degree of resolution of what was problematic in the situation. Both agreed that thinking—or inquiry—was not fundamentally about the representations of a situation; either those produced by a contemporary thinker or as an exercise directed at historical materials. Both agreed that a history of ideas as autonomous entities, distorted not only the process of thinking as a practice, but also the reasons for which it had been engaged in, often with a certain seriousness and urgency, the first place: that is to say, such approaches covered over the stakes. Both agreed that the stakes involved something experiential and entailed a form of logic (or in Foucault’s later vocabulary a mode of ‘veridiction’), in which the thinker could not help but be involved.

This article presents Foucault’s ambitious thoughts on various historical events in the past and sees how people faced and reacted to all these events in different eras of thinking, ways of life, cultures and historical settings. He works with past events, yet his objective is to constitute a history of the present. His rich analyses in his works are classified in three main axes, namely the axis of knowledge, of power, and of ethics or subject. The author of this article also presents Foucault’s notion on power as practiced throughout the history of systems of thought, and how this way of thinking can be read into in any political power, or how Foucault’s thinking can be seen as a criticism on various repressive powers practiced everywhere, including in Indonesia.

Archaeological Method

The objective of this paper is to show that both the archaeological method and the genealogical method developed by Michel Foucault do not provide an appropriate approach to think the resistance of subjectivity nor it is possible to explain it from those perspectives for the lack of appropriate theoretical devices. Thus, it is necessary to go against those who see both methods either as totally different or as a part of an evolutionary process in the thought of Foucault. It is argued that the impossibility to think seriously the resistance lays down in the fact that the French thinker was involved in a tradition which aim was to undermine the Humanist, Existentialist and Phenomenological philosophies. To expose this problem in the thought of Foucault, some of Judith Butler’s ideas are recovered to show the necessity of thinking the resistance as a constitutive part of the process of configuration of the subjectivity. This does not mean to abandon the Foucauldian thought, but to make it more complex by looking its weak points.

This paper presents Michel Foucault’s thoughts on historical events in the past as they impact on the constitution of the self in the present. Thus, Foucault is known as an historian of the present. An expert in the history of the system of thought, he analyses how people thought and behaved throughout the history of philosophy from the Rennaisance to the classical period (17 th-18 in Foucault’s classification) and onto the 20thth century. As a postmodernist (and post-structuralist) thinker, he critiques modern rationality based mainly on the ego, subject, and consciousness, as passed down to present day thinking by René Descartes. He analyses critically this exclusive rationality and confronts it with his notion of discourse. This paper also presents ways of reading important historical events which were, and are, influential in human life in line with Foucault’s criticism. <b>Keywords:</b> Foucault, philosopy, discourse, subject, etict Artikel ini menyajikan pemikiran Michel tentang peristiwa sejarah masa lalu yang berguna bagi manusia pada masa sekarang. Foucault secara khusus dikenal sebagai sejarawan masa kini. Sebagai ahli dalam sejarah sistem pemikiran, Foucault menganalisis cara orang berpikir dan berperilaku sepanjang sejarah filsafat dimulai dari era Rennaisance, periode klasik (abad XVII-XVIII dalam klasifikasi Foucault), hingga abad XX. Sebagai pemikir posmodernis (dan postrukturalis), Foucault mengajukan kritik terhadap rasionalitas modern yang didasarkan atas ego, subjek, dan kesadaran, yang diwariskan sampai saat ini oleh René Descartes. Dia menganalisis secara kritis rasionalitas eksklusif ini dan menghadapkannya dengan gagasan wacana. Artikel ini juga menyajikan cara untuk membaca semua peristiwa sejarah yang penting dan berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan manusia sesuai dengan kritik Foucault. <b>Kata-kata kunci:</b> Foucault, filsafat , diskursus, subjek, etika

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.

In dieser Arbeit wird das Konzept der Gouvernementalität des französischen Philosophen Michel Foucault (1926–1984) vorgestellt und seine Übertragung auf die Pflegewissenschaft aufgezeigt. Der Begriff Gouvernementalität entstammt den Spätschriften Foucaults und bildet eine Fortsetzung, Erweiterung und Akzentverschiebung seiner einflussreichen Analytik der Macht. Die Problemkomplexe Staat und Subjektivität kann Foucault mit der strategischen Konzeption von Macht nicht hinreichend unter einer einheitlichen analytischen Perspektive untersuchen. Erst mit dem Begriff der Regierung und dem Konzept der Gouvernementalität findet Foucault eine befriedigende Analysemethode. Machtbeziehungen werden hierbei unter dem Blickwinkel von Führung untersucht; so lassen sich Sozialtechnologien und Technologien des Selbst in ihrer Beziehung zueinander analysieren. Mittels dieser Perspektivenerweiterung gelingt die Analyse neoliberaler Gouvernementalität. Es lässt sich eine Neudefinition des Verhältnisses von Staat und Ökonomie aufzeigen, wobei der Markt zum regulierenden Prinzip des Staates wird und das Ökonomische alle Bereiche menschlichen Handelns umfasst. Die bisherige Foucault-Rezeption in der Pflegewissenschaft schließt (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen) nicht an die Spätschriften Foucaults an und bleibt damit in ihren Möglichkeiten begrenzt. Exemplarisch wird in dieser Arbeit der Qualitätsdiskurs und die Problematik der Bedürfnisinterpretation untersucht. In beiden Feldern lässt sich zeigen, wie sowohl die Patienten als auch die Pflegenden im Sinne neoliberaler Subjektbildung geformt werden und letztlich pflegerisches Handeln zu ökonomischem Handeln transformiert wird.
