Foucault and the Historical Discourse

The archaeology or the act of doing an archaeological method is not so much interested in what's already always already present, but it's about sort of excavating or performing an archaeology of those things that have been omitted. So for Foucault, there is a movement from what we could call the pre-discursive. And this is mainly like, like I said, how he sees this fitting in or not fitting in with previous versions of philosophy of history. In the traditional model, I think it's pretty fair and they correct me if you think this is unfair.
