Lionel,
As I see, the difference between "énoncé" and speech act is rather methodological:
it refers to two different language analysis, two different ways of inquiring
into language.
In effect, this is also how Foucault distinguishes an "énonce" from
a phrase (grammatical language analysis), from a proposition (logical analysis),
and from an interpretation (sense analysis, hermeneutics or even psychoanalysis).
To analyse langage into "speech acts" unities refers language to the situation
and to the activity connected to it. What Foucault looks for, with his "analyse
de l’énoncé",
is to put the language performance in relation to a much broader horizon:
the discourse formation ("formation discursive") and the archives.
In the first moment Foucault says (p.110, "L’Archéologie du savoir", Gallimard,
1969)
that it was as he could count several "énoncés" in one only speech act.
But I don’t think we must consider this to its latest consequences.
At this point Foucault is in the beginning of his explanation, still investigating
the nature of the "énoncé", still considering it as an unity
and not yet as a function (like he does later on the text).

How do you interpret Foucault on the difference between what he calls "énoncé"
and "speech acts"?

Ben,
I'm reading <Archéologie du Savoir> by now.
In the chapter about statements ("énoncés"), Foucault writes
about statements level ("niveaux énonciatifs")
or statements relations ("relations énonciatives"),
which may remind the langage games
(sprachspiel) of Wittgenstein.
In this same chapter, Foucault works on
the difference between what he calls "énoncé" and "speech acts"
("a concept of english analytical philosophers..."),
a probable reference to Searle and Austin.

Hi all,
I am interested in learning more about the influence that analytical
philosophy had on Foucault and his ideas of power and discourse. In
'Foucault and His Interlocutors', in the chapter entitled 'Structures and
Strategies of Discourse', Davidson quotes Foucault:
"For Anglo-Saxon analytic philosophy it is a question of making a critical
analysis of thought on the basis of the way in which one says things. I
think on could imagine, in the same way, a philosophy that would ... bear
rather on relations of power than on language games."
Davidson later cites Foucault's early engagement with linguistic philosophy
and Wittgenstein in particular as evidence that Foucault's philosophy grew
from influences that weren't purely continental.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any other statements by Foucault or
otherwise, in which this relationship is discussed?
Cheers,
Ben Sorgiovanni
