Evidence
So we have on the one hand a knowledge that has effectively been disciplinarized to form a historical discipline, and on the other hand, a historical consciousness that is polymorphous, divided, and combative. It ts simply the other side, the other face of a political consciousness. — Michel Foucault, Society Must Be Defended, 202
