From memory one of the earliest discussions of Foucault and
structuralism appeared in Dominique Lecourt's analysis of The
Archaeology of Knowledge, which was translated as part of the 1975
book 'Marxism and Epistemology: Bachelard, Canguilhem, Foucault'. I
would check my copy but all of my books are packed up at the moment,
but I'm pretty sure that it discusses AK as a break with
structuralism in The Order of Things. It is interesting because it
was written before Discipline & Punish appeared. The Foucault Effect
(ed Colin Gordon et al) might be another place to start.

Hi all,_______________________________________________
In the preface to *The Order of Things*, Foucault rebukes those who call
him
a structuralist, saying, basically, that while he has respect for many
structuralist thinkers that his work is not at all in the same vein. I'm
wondering if anyone knows of anyone who discusses Foucault's relationship
to
structuralist theory, both methodological or philosophical similarities as
well as Foucault's own conception of how his work departed from
structuralist theory.
Thanks in advance.
