Abstract
In the article the author argues that Foucault’s insights on the
archaeological historiography, genealogy and discourse analysis can
be used as a lens to write history as well as to deconstruct the existing
historical sources. Foucault’s main thesis is that history is largely an
illusion. Foucault contrasts effective historiography with traditional
historiography. He is against the traditional scheme of historical research.
Foucault’s archaeological historiography is a method of historical analysis
that is free from the anthropological theme. In the article the following
themes will be discussed: Foucault and post-structuralism, Foucault
and the archaeological historiography, Foucault and the genealogical
historiography, Foucault and discourse analysis, Foucault and the formation
of objects of discourse, Foucault and the reading process and Foucault
knowledge and truth, Foucault and power and discipline. Attention will
also be given in this paper to Ricoeur’s notions on historiography.
