BRITOS, María del Pilar. Michel Foucault: Del orden del discurso a una pragmática de lo múltiple. Tópicos [online]. 2003, n.11, pp.63-82. ISSN 1666-485X.

The foucaultian perspective is exposed in this essay, as a proposal of an analysis of the relation between speech and action that puts an end to the duality between both terms. The axis of the proposal consists in indicating that discourse order is not solved in its propositional movement, but in the effects of its strategical occurrence. A new problematization of discursive practices is set up, so as to detect, in the unstable thickness of the enunciative spaces, the forms of regularity that govern them. Considering that the status of discourse coincides with the actuality of 'what is said', what is under discussion does no longer concern the text's consistency, but the strength that its statements exert on the surface of cultural practices.At the same time, the possibility of dealing with the legitimacy of action by reviewing  its discursive justification is left behind, and the mechanisms of stabilization of the truth policies that consolidate discursive formations are cross-examined. From a critical perspective that claims itself to be antidialectic, the categories of foucaultian analysis seek to restore the tension between discourse order and a pragmatics of the multiple.
