Hello Iara
At one point in my work that drew on Foucault to develop a concept of social
flux, I suggested considered how paradigm might be defined in terms of
Foucault's ideas. There might be something along those lines in my chapters
3 and 7 at:
http://www.geocities.com/lionelboxer/phd/
I felt that there was ...
I recall looking at Foucault's episteme, khun's paradigm and Dawkins meme
thinking that there was something worth fusing and investigating, but my
supervisor (formerly of Stirling University - Iara) suggested that would
clutter my PhD thesis.
Perhaps some post doctoral work in there for me. My impression is that my
concept of social flux explains paradigm in terms that could be explored
through Foucault's episteme and Dawkins meme. Somewhere in my boxes of
notes I have these ideas explored ...
