Abstract

The article presents a study that deals with Bruno Latour's assessment of Michel Foucault's postmodernism. The author highlights the successful integration of the discursive and the material of Foucault's work to challenge Latour's assessment of Foucault's postmodernism. She argues that Foucault's theory of power has provided a viable alternative to both modernism and linguistic constructionism. The author also highlights the role of Foucault's conception in understanding of politics and power.
