E. KellyMy usual first line of defence when accusations of ‘postmodernism’ are levelled at Foucault is pedantic: there is no philosophical ‘postmodernism’ (with the possible exception of Jean-François Lyotard’s thought), and no one who knows what they are talking about suggests Foucault is a “postmodernist.” He himself ultimately rejected any possibility of a “postmodern” period or attitude, averring instead that he was actually a partisan of the modern, Enlightenment critical attitude.0F1 I must admit though that this dodge is a little disingenuous on my part. After all, I am well aware what people mean when they invoke ‘postmodernism’ in relation to philosophy. They mean, effectively, a total relativism, one which holds that not only our values but all kinds of truth are historically relative. Foucault’s rejection of the label was made at a time when it was only inchoately applied, so he did not really rebut such accusations as they are made today.Item Open Access The Foucault F̶i̶a̶s̶c̶o̶ Plague: Frugality, t̶h̶e̶ ̶G̶a̶z̶e̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶R̶e̶t̶u̶r̶n̶ of Postmodernism(University of Canterbury, 2022) Clint BurnhamMichel Foucault’s writings on the plague are well-known, no moreso than over the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, in Discipline and Punish, he discusses two forms of the socius, one the pure community and the other the disciplined society: whereas with the former, the “leper was caught up in a process of rejection, of exile-enclosure”, to be marked, separated, and left in an undifferentiated mass, in the latter, plague victims were targeted by “a meticulous tactical partitioning”, individual differentiations and segmentation.
