“The Genealogical Writings of History: On Some Aporias in Foucault's Theory of Power." Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory 10.1 (1986): 1-9.

The focus of Michel Foucault’s genealogical approach to history is on elimination of hermeneutic concerns & attainment of an objectivistic history. Three limitations of his approach give rise to aporias: its presentism, its relativism, & the partiality of its critique. The intellectual & imaginative limitations of genealogical history are explored.
