This paper aims, from the perspective of an archaeogenealogy, discuss possible relationships between the discourse of Madonna and the concept of parrêsia. It is based initially on appointments of Michel Foucault on the modalities of subjectivity by truth emerged and developed along the issues of self-care and parrêsia. Below, lists characteristics of the call cynical parrêsia and draws parallels between this and three statements of Madonna, the book Sex and two contemporary interviews this. Finally, it discusses the same approach according to the differentiation made by Jean Baudrillard between seduction and pleasure, concluding in the Madonna’s speech Madonna not parrêsia but the simulacrum of the entertainment industry.
