Abstract

This article investigates certain anti-metaphysical procedures inherent to the genealogical method proposed by Nietzsche and developped by Foucault and Jonathan Crary in order to emphasize its productive application in the field of Theory of Communication. Initially it stresses how genealogy may enrich studies in this area, specially as a means to overcome certain analytical constraints such as: the metaphysics of origin, the belief in the subject as an agent, and the habit of establishing cause-effect relations. In order to show the productivity of the method, it proposes a genealogical investigation of certain expressive changes of regimes of subjectivity in recent cultural products connected to what can be called “somatic culture”. Enriched by genealogy, Theory of Communication enlarges its scope and relevance for the understanding of cultural horizons, senses and ways of living in constant change: that is what is at stake in the article.
