Honneth notes a contradiction between what he calls the Foucault’s theory of power and his historical studies (particularly those contained in Discipline and Punish). One of my aims is to explain this contradiction and propose an alternative reading. Honneth supposed that disciplinary institutions end up displacing action and social struggle. Conversely, I try to show –this is the contribution that I would like to do in the article, based on a conceptual reconstruction– that the disciplines and disciplinary institutions should be considered as tactics that never quite reach your goal. These are tactics that fail to block definitively the expression of resistance and conflict. This alternative reading that I propose allows, in principle, two contact points between Foucault and critical theory that have not yet been elucidated.  En el presente trabajo abordo la interpretación que Axel Honneth realiza, en su libro Crítica del poder, de la propuesta de Michel Foucault. Honneth señala, a modo de crítica, la existencia de una contradicción entre lo que denomina la teoría del poder de Foucault y sus estudios históricos –en particular, los reunidos en Vigilar y Castigar–. Uno de mis objetivos es explicar esta contradicción y, a partir de ella, proponer una lectura alternativa. En contraposición a Honneth, para quien las instituciones disciplinarias que analiza Foucault terminarían desplazando la acción y la lucha social, intento mostrar –y este es el aporte que busco realizar en el trabajo a partir de una reconstrucción conceptual– que las disciplinas y por añadidura las instituciones disciplinarias deben considerarse tácticas que nunca alcanzan del todo su objetivo. Son tácticas que no logran bloquear, de manera definitiva, las expresiones de resistencia y conflictividad. Esta lectura alternativa que aquí propongo permitiría, en principio, ensayar al menos dos puntos de contacto entre Foucault y la teoría crítica que aún no han sido elucidados.  Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad 2015-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos revisados por pares application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/10750 10.55441/1668.7515.n14.10750 Astrolabio; No. 14 (2015): PODER Y ESTADO EN LA TEORÍA SOCIAL CONTEMPORÁNEA; 51-65 Astrolabio; Núm. 14 (2015): PODER Y ESTADO EN LA TEORÍA SOCIAL CONTEMPORÁNEA; 51-65 Astrolabio; n. 14 (2015): PODER Y ESTADO EN LA TEORÍA SOCIAL CONTEMPORÁNEA; 51-65 1668-7515 10.55441/1668.7515.n14 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/10750/12058
