ZEPKE, Stephen. Foucault and the art: from modernism to biopolitics.Traducido porMónica Zuleta Pardo. Nómadas [online]. 2014, n.40, pp.101-113. ISSN 0121-7550.

The text deals with Foucault's occasional writings about art. It argues that Foucault's theory of modernism, that brings its constant drive to overcome itself close to a vitalist understanding of bios, drawn from Nietzsche, culminates in Cynicism. Such a proposal gives useful responses to contemporary theories of art, including conceptual practice and Situationism, and combined with Foucault's later theories on subjectivation, it gives provocative impulses to contemporary partistic practices engaged in biopolitical struggles.

Palabras clave : Michel Foucault; Friedrich Nietzsche; modernism; photography; biopolitics; art theory.
