This project seeks to investigate the processes, motivations and singularities of the efforts invested by Gilles Deleuze, from 1984 onwards, in his studies on Foucaultian philosophy. Giving special emphasis to the question of power, the project consolidates its vision of analysis based especially on a traditional division of studies on Foucault, which admits an archaeology of known (and the study of historical strata), a genealogy of power (and the study of strategies of force) and a care of the self (and the study of subjectivity). Through these mechanisms of analysis - also in agreement with Deleuze's study - it's hoped to follow the hypothesis that Foucault has always been an author concerned with the present and, above all, with the current processes of thinking. From there, it is expected that there will be an efficient differentiation between Deleuze's philosophical works and the characterization usually attributed to philosophical commentators. To this end, the plan project relies on a primary bibliography structured in sketches, works and courses given by Deleuze, and a secondary bibliography, engaged in understanding the relationship between the two authors.
