ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses late Foucault in a way that takes seriously his own recommendations to approach his work as a political toolkit. It discusses the practical-political approach also – and even – to the notions of love, erotic pleasure, gay mode of life and artistic/aesthetic relationality. It has been established that the political toolkit which can be reconstructed from late Foucault is more extensive and multifarious than what is often thought. The political toolkit includes a somewhat heterogeneous set of tools as well as different strategies, arts and techniques for using the tools in various manners, to spawn divergent yet equally resistant effects. Foucault’s interpretations of various cultural-historical contexts, periods and textual sources may well be problematic, when it comes to their historical accuracy.
