Title

THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF POWER AND METAPHOR A FOUCAULT-DERRIDEAN APPROACH

Pages

  109-127

Abstract

 From a Foucauldian perspective, knowledge is POWER. Knowledge engenders POWER and is in turn, produced, controlled and circulated by POWER. Its production and transmission being necessarily mediated with thinking and the use of language, knowledge can dispense with neither. Furthermore, it is not possible to think without the mediation of language. Hence, knowledge is doubly linguistic in structure. A Derridean point of view asserts that language is METAPHORical through and through. Therefore, knowledge is METAPHORical and as a result, POWER itself works through METAPHORs. On the other hand, a given METAPHOR has got, at least, the faintest claim to truth and therefore, at least, the minimum amount of will to POWER. This study is an attempt to show how POWER is, inevitably, METAPHORical, and how METAPHORs interfere with the workings of POWER. It applies the METAPHORicity of POWER and POWER-relevancy of METAPHOR to My Last Duchess by Robert Browning and Best Looking Girl in Town by Thyra Samter W1I1Slow to show what role LITERATURE, as a domain rich in METAPHORs, plays with respect to a given POWER structure.
