Appreciate the quality work on this little series of Foucault. The puppet's accent makes it entertaining without sacrificing the flow and articulation of his overall ideas. Thank you.
I know you made this half a decade ago but I just wanted to say: I'm going to watch one of these per day for the next few weeks. Thank you for combining something delightful (puppets) with something not-always-delightful but important (Foucault-flavored theory)
“This precisely is the misunderstanding” oh boy was I wrong 😅. The metaphor of excavation by the way, according to my Foucaultian professor, is problematic precisely because it relies on the metaphor of discovery. Why don’t we instead use the metaphor of remembering the past with reference to history? Or maybe even something beyond memory (because it quickly turns into memorializing and stratification of knowledge, which is where inquiry ends). Historical inquiry conceived of as historical discovery or even rediscovery relies on implicit assumptions about the nature of the scientist/historian as a heroic figure
As an archaeologist, to be fair we also primarily deal with interfaces and surfaces of layers of dirt. We look for the surfaces and the boundaries, that can reveal relations with other stratigraphic units. What is within the layer is of secondary importance, and rendered homogeneous and almost flat. We care more about the cause of formation of the layer and its relation with other layers, than the individual objects that are hidden within it (those are "for the museum!") Anyway I love this video.
oh also, please do s is for savoir and please elaborate on the distinction between savoir and connaissance esp for the english reader. s'il vous plait!

The resemblance is uncanny apart from his tendency to use a Quebec accent.
