Abstract
BERNAL CRESPO, Julia Sandra; OROZCO ARCIERI, Carlos Andrés and MOLINARES HASSAN, Viridiana. Foucault and Homosexuality: From Power Relation to Practice of Freedom. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2016, n.46, pp.111-130. ISSN 0121-8697. https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.46.8813.
Thirty years after the death of Michel Foucault, this article seeks to vindicate the work of the well-known philosopher and psychologist. Specifically, we discuss the advantages of Foucault's method, the ways in which he obtained results, his opinions and his critical analyses of the history of sexuality in the West. To this end, we present a brief biographical introduction to Foucault in which we link his theoretical and existential concerns. Subsequently, we review Foucault's method, goals, results and proposals for research on sexuality.
Keywords : Foucault; homosexuality; genealogy; sexuality; normalisation.
