Abstract

The paper presents the elements of Foucault's rupture with the paradigm of representation, understanding that this rupture also brings him closer to the anarchist tradition. To that end, Foucault's positions about the relation between theory and practice are reviewed; his approach to language as discourse and his notion of event. In this way, Foucault's Philosophy is characterized as libertarian exactly insofar as he breaks with the founding role of representation and with everything that follows from it.
