Under construction by Anouk Soomers and Sabrina Willems.
The term genealogy was used by Nietzsche in 1882 and adopted by Michel Foucault.
Foucault claimes that his purpose in writing was not to write a history of the past, but a history of the present, in order to illuminate how we have arrived where we are, which will open up future possibilities of chang and resistance. (Gregory et al.(2009 p. 270).'
