Abstract

This  article investigates a relationship between Foucault and Kafka punctuating the authorial theme of the "selfdenial," or "self-effacement." This disappearance occurs differently from cases like the masks of Fernando Pessoa, or as the effacement of the inventor in the Renaissance. Even so, Foucault smiles like Mona Lisa, by Leonardo Da Vinci, image of Durval Albuquerque Júnior, and this laugh at us and at himself opens up clues to us so we can imagine him inside his work. A work that evolved the authorship issue in such a way that affected the Hellenistic concept’s review of the "self- care" in his last phase.KEYWORDS: Foucault; Kafka; person; Da Vinci, self-care.
