In this article, I reconsider the normative dimensions of Michel Foucault's genealogical method, especially as they pertain to analyzing the nature of political institutions. I put forward a normative reading of Foucauldian genealogical critique, and through its lens view political institutions as historically contingent phenomena. This helps us to see how political institutions are transformable.
