Genealogia e semiotica. Una pagina di Nietzsche (con Foucault)

In the twelfth paragraph of the second essay from On the Genealogy of Morality, Nietzsche
achieves the historic-genetic research’s most important proposition. It concerns the emergence
of things. His argumentative construction weaves together with the issue of the meaning of the
will to truth. The most lucid raise of this twist is the one developed by Michel Foucault, especially
in Nietzsche, Genealogy and History, more in general in the most of his research. According
to Nietzsche and Foucault, genealogy is analysis and polemic. Genealogy is analysis of ideas,
languages, events’ descent. The latter is always historic and corporeal, as are the production and
the interpretation of the signs impressed in reality by the succession of the processes of subjection
and by the resistances encountered. Genealogy and semiotic are conceptual instruments for
the re-emergence of bodies’ local memories, to study subtraction tactics to global discourses and
critical intervention methods in reality.
