Abstract: Michel Foucault's works have been referenced in several fields of knowledge and such influence has also been noticed in accounting. This article is based on Pierre Bourdieu's conceptual model to analyze the nature of Foucault's insertion in accounting thinking through the collection and systematization of articles published in international scientific accounting journals. The objective is to address at what point in time Foucault started acting as a reference, the how he was accepted or refused by researchers, the relationship between the field in which references were produced and the field in which they were received, and to which subjects he has turned to be indispensable. The method used was descriptive research. Of a total of 66 scientific journals related with accounting research, with 6.428 published articles, 113 articles were identified in 14 magazines with reference to Foucault. It was possible to verify that 40% of the articles are based in Foucault. Of that total, 52% deals with disciplinary aspects of accounting, followed by the subject regarding speech-language-narrative (22%). The remaining - 60% - mentions Foucault as incidental or topical reference to their concepts.
