Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the functioning of the notion of „history” in Michel Foucault’s methodological project. The subject of interest is the author of Discipline and Punish as a theoretician of the historiography, literature and textual self-creation. In other words, the article discusses Foucault’s three projects: 1) a revision of history as a research subject – from understanding it in categories of continuity and identity to perceiving it in categories of non‑continuity and differences, 2) interpretative and inter‑textual literature – and its history of the same type, 3) „the aesthetization of existence”.
