From the archeological and genealogical critiques to Marx to the genealogy of the marxism

Abstract

This work proposes to analyze the relations between Foucault’s work and the historical materialism from two complementary levels: while the principal methodological differences inrelation to Marx takes place inside a critical exhibition of the archaeological method (wich relegates it as a mere exponent of the Nineteenth-Century philosophy) and of the genealogical one (where there is a positive valuation of some aspects of The Capital), as to Marxism the differences must be completed by an historical exhibition in which Foucault realizes a “genealogy of the Marxism” while he analyzes the way in which this one intervened in certain historical - political processes.
