The years 1974 to 1976 are marked by the entry of neologisms biopower and biopolitics in the vocabulary of Michel Foucault. These terms emerges in a decisive moment in his genealogical analysis procedure: affected by critical readings of Nietzsche, he put into focus the multifaceted process by which, in modernity, the biological dimension of human life enters the calculations of a power that is exercised by microcapillary means. Scanned as “machine” or as “species”, the subject's body becomes the point that concentrates the efforts of governmental rationalities and technologies. This paper seeks to map some of the methodological elements that allow the genealogical formulation of the problem of the relation between life and power. In order to idicate the importance of Foucault’s theories and analytical principles for a critical diagnosis of actuallity, it shall present considerations and notes from the reading and analysis of works of Giorgio Agamben and Peter Sloterdijk
Os anos de 1974 a 1976 são marcados pela entrada, no vocabulário de Michel Foucault, dos neologismos biopoder e biopolítica. Estes termos despontam num momento decisivo de seu procedimento genealógico de análise: influenciado pelas leituras crítica de Nietzsche, ele passa a colocar em foco o processo multifacetado pelo qual, na modernidade, a dimensão biológica da vida humana entra nos cálculos de um poder que se exerce microcapilarmente. Esquadrinhado como “máquina” ou como “espécie”, o corpo do sujeito passa a ser o ponto que concentra os esforços das tecnologias e racionalidades governamentais. Este trabalho busca mapear os elementos metodológicos característicos que permitiram a formulação genealógica do problema da relação entre vida e poder. A fim de destacar a importância das teses e princípios analíticos foucauldianos para um diagnóstico crítico do presente, serão apresentadas considerações e notas a partir da leitura de Giorgio Agamben e Peter Sloterdijk
