Rođenje biopolitike

Foucault Michel

Summary

Michel Foucault: The Birth of Biopolitics

French philosopher and social theorist Michel Foucault first touched on the concept of biopolitics in his lecture series "Society Needs to be Defended" at the College de France, held in 1975-1976. Foucault's concept of biopolitics largely derives from his own understanding of bio-power, and the extension of state power over the physical and political bodies of the population. Biopolitics has recently seen widespread acceptance in scientific circles as well as among social theorists. When Foucault first mentioned biopolitics, on March 17, 1976, he described it as "a new technology of power
... [that] exists at a different level, [that] occupies a different space, and uses very different instruments." More than a disciplinary measure, Foucault's biopolitics acts as an apparatus of control over the population as a whole or, as Foucault states, the “global mass”. In the years that followed, Foucault continued to develop his biopolitical concepts in his lectures "The Birth of Biopolitics".

Michel Foucault, French philosopher, psychologist and political theorist (1926-1984). He taught at many universities (since 1970 at the College de France). Philosophically, he reflected on the origin of theories and practices of science about man. He started from the notion of discourse as a set of assertions, practices, qualification schemes and objects of analysis that, although incompatible and contradictory, share a set of discursive rules that govern them. He opposed the opinion that started from the understanding of the development of the history of civilization as an uninterrupted history of progress governed by increasing rationality and considered that, on the contrary, the development of humanity was decisively influenced by discontinuity, interruption and randomness, as well as by the arbitrary and irrational. He introduced the concept of power into philosophical analysis and brought it into relation with the science of man, thus presenting the original theory of the system (state).
