Title: Between Theory and History: On the Interdisciplinary Practice in Michel Foucault's Work
Abstract: The works of Michel Foucault often disappoint those who are approaching it from a solid disciplinary basis. In this paper I will argue that if the attempt to interpret Foucault's work from the standpoint of a certain academic discipline, be it philosophy or history, may lead to ambiguous consequences, then there is still a possibility to consider it from an interdisciplinary point of view. I will indicate two aspects of Foucault's interdisciplinary thinking. First, the problematization that he himself calls the "history of the present", then an outcome of this practice that I would like to call the "historical modelling" of the human condition.
