Naissance de la clinique – une archéologie du regard médical
The Birth of the Clinic: An Archaeology of Medical Perception, a 1963 book by Michel Foucault, presents the development of la clinique as a medical institution. The work identifies and describes the concept of le regard médical, and the epistemic re-organisation of the research structures of medicine in the production of medical knowledge at the end of the eighteenth century. Although originally limited to the academic discourses of post-modernism and post-structuralism, the medical gaze term is used in graduate medicine and social work.
