Re: [Foucault-L] Foucaultian dictum

I think that the dictum is a translation or rather interpretation of L'achéologie du savoir, p. 15
"de nos jours, l'histoire, c'est ce qui transforme les documents en monuments"

Dear all

Today someone mentioned the Foucaultian dictum to me: "Power lies in monuments and documents."

Do these words come directly from his own work? If so, does anyone have a direct reference to one of his works where this appears? If not, does anyone know where this dictum appears in the secondary literature?
