Hi Iara,
One book does come to mind. It is the 'Preface for English readers' to
Dominique Lecourt, _Marxism and Epistemology: Bachelard, Canguilhem,
Foucault_, trans. Ben Brewster, London: New Left Books, 1975. It
specifically addresses this issue, as many at the time were seemingly
conflating concepts such as 'problematic' (Althusser) and 'episteme'
(Foucault) with the Kuhnian concept of 'paradigm'. This book may be
difficult to find but hopefully in the UK you can get it through
interlibrary loan if need be. I don't know if Lecourt ever published a
version of that text in French. The main text of the book consists of two
books in French (one on Bachelard, the other on Bachelard, Canguilhem and
Foucault - Foucault's text under discussion being _L'archéologie du
savoir_), plus this special preface. It took me several years to find a
second-hand copy of my own here in Australia.
