Summary/Abstract: This paper develops the argument that Foucauldian genealogy is marked by a stronganti-representationalism that is most constantly visible in what Foucault, borrowingfrom Nietzsche, calls a “tragic structure”: the mode of constitution of a self throughan act of exclusion which by the same token is rendered unavailable, thus renderingthe self-constitution also unavailable. Then the practical effects of the care of the selfas an anti-representational critical strategy are traced demonstrating how care of theself interweaves with risk calculations, insurance marketing and therapeutic techniquesknitting a psychological technology of governmentality.
