Foucault, Marx and the question of politics: The materialist problematics of power

What would a materialist position today be like, especially after Marx and Foucault? In order to address this question, the dissertation examines the relationship between Marx and Foucault by situating them within a new and specific kind of materialist discursive practice which Foucault seeks to develop on the basis of the discourse initiated by Marx at the modern theoretical conjuncture. For this purpose, it tries to bring to new light Foucault's understanding of Marx (the apparent absence of Marx in Foucault's work which is frequently taken by Foucauldian commentators as indicating his break with Marx) within the context of their commonly shared materialist challenge to the tradition of the history of philosophy.
