Michel Foucault constitue sans aucun doute un auteur privilégié pour aborder la question du vieillissement, notamment dans la perspective d’une articulation avec celle du pouvoir. De fait, on trouve chez Foucault, tout particulièrement le Foucault des Leçons au Collège de France, des analyses importantes sur la question du vieillissement à l’aune d...

In his work between 1985 and 1999, the Colombian philosopher Édgar Garavito sought to enter into a relationship with Michel Foucault, to get closer to him, to pay tribute to him. His use of philosophers as work tools, instruments and weapons allows him to establish his own concept: transcursivity, which implies transformation. The article is divide...
