Foucault

This book by the French master historian is probably one of the most influential in research methodologies. One point of critique to be kept in mind is by F.Kittler who says that Foucault's method only works for periods in history which are mainly marked by book production and that he had no way of transferring that methodology to the age of electronic media. Not entirely sure if Kittler is right as he puts so much emphasis on the 'media apriori'.
