CANAVESE, Mariana. The Foucault effect, between the "New Man" to the "crisis of Marxism". Prismas [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.1, pp.79-97. ISSN 1852-0499.

In Argentina, Michel Foucault's work has had several interpretations being a series of them associated with Marx and the Marxism. An approximation to these series of interpretations includes the readings dated from the end of the '50s to the '70s. After this time and within the "crisis of Marxism", the uses of Foucault's citation oscillated among approval and rejection. In this paper, we explore some of these uses within the context of democratic transition, masses experience in the '70s and the strong relaxation of the Marxist speech in the intellectual field. In this way, we try to explain the division between the orthodox Marxism and the new Marxist critical theory. We also expose the problem of the reception of ideas through the strategic use of these speeches by political and intellectual agents in a specific context. Finally, we investigate the ways these readings were articulated through the interpretation of the local policy and culture.

Keywords : Uses; Foucault; Argentina; Marxism.
