Foucault's nominalism
In Shelley Tremain, _Foucault and the Government of Disability_. University of Michigan Press. pp. 93--107 (2005)
Abstract
It seems plausible to extend to the field of Disability Studies a certain nominalist point of view which is evident in Foucault’s work. What I have in mind is an “implantation of impairments” thesis, modelled after what Foucault calls the “implantation of perversions.” After sketching some features of this Foucauldian argument, I discuss the ideas of knowledge and power that it presupposes, then outline a critical perspective on Foucault’s nominalism.Author's Profile
