On Foucault: The Spatialized History And Historicized Space

Foucault is a philosopher who uses history to provide insight into human experience and social interaction with a view to inviting people to change the ingrained status quo. Even though he is a philosopher, his work influenced literary criticism and literary theory.In recent years, some scholars have began to research Foucault's work on space following the developing of Space Theory. Their studies integrated his work on space and power, but lean to study the theory on macroscopical space. This article is base upon the literary theory , reseaching Foucault's work on microcosmic space from the history dimension. It integrates the theory of New History to study Foucault's space on synchronic and diachronic dimension.Main thesis of this article is divided into four parts, in addition to the preface, the chapter 1 is to research Foucault's work on space from history dimension. His work is anti-origin, anti-continuity, anti-totality. He succeed the genealogy of Nietzsche after criticism, then develops the idea "effect history". All of these influenced New History profoundly. Chapter 2 expatiates on the visualization of space, which presentation are panoptic prison and disciplinded body. Foucault found the connection between power and knowledge via space. Those different spaces which relation is similar with Heterotopias via the power. For explaining the concept of "Heterotopias" ,this article employed Diego. Rodriquezde. Silvay. Velasquez's paints. This paper dissertates the concept "dehors" and "pleat" via Deleuze in chapter 3,and try to find out origin of those ideas in Franch culture. The last chapter analyses Foucault's work What Is an Author? to discuss the "becoming context", which has important relationship with Deleuze's rhizome. New History inherit this idea about context.
