Foucault, Michel. Truth and Power

'It's not a matter of locating everything on one level, that of the event, but of realising that there is actually a whole order of levels of different types of events, differing in amplitude, chronological breadth, and capacity to produce effects.' p. 56

'One has to dispense with the constituent subject, to get rid of the subject itself, that's to say, to arrive at an analysis which can account for the constitution of the subject within a historical framework. And this is what I call genealogy, that is, a form of history that can account for the constitution of knowledges, discourses, domains of objects, etc., without having to make reference to a subject which is either transcendental in relation to the field of events or runs in its empty sameness throughout the course of history.' p. 59
