Да разкриеш себе си: власт и сексуален субект при Фуко
To Disclose Yourself: Power and Constitution of the Sexual Subject in Foucault’s Works

Summary/Abstract: According to Didier Eribon, Foucault should also be interpreted within the movement for sexual freedom, and especially the LGBT movement developed itself, after the Stonewall. However if we reconstruct Foucault’s work on sexuality in this perspective, we shall see that there is a certain critique to the slogan “coming out of the closet” mobilized by the LGBT social movement as containing, presumably, an emancipatory potential. In fact, “to disclose yourself” became an important power technique through which the sexual subject was constituted within psychiatry and psychoanalytical therapy – a process that became possible partly because of a specific discursive regime established during the 19th century. Power technique producing sustainable identity as a core of power domination.
