Description
Summary:The author argues that for many 'us all/we other' Foucauldians in International Relations (IR), the assumption about a recognizable Foucauldian identity is nonsensical, even if it has the appearance of being something meaningful. The article demonstrates the need to de-dramatize the consequences of what would happen if Foucauldians were to decide that it is not so vital for critical writing and thinking in IR to worry about 'doing something' for the discipline.
