Resumen
URABAYEN, Julia y CASERO, Jorge León. Biopolitical governmentality: from a state controlled society to liberalism. Co-herencia [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.29, pp.67-92. ISSN 1794-5887. https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.15.29.3.
Foucault’s thought is a toolbox which has been used in a variety of ways. Those multiple uses, do not imply, however, that his philosophy lacks unity. In order to ground this assertion, this article performs a comprehensive re-assessment of the work of Foucault, focused on the notion of governmentality, and it discusses how the main powers analyzed by the French thinker are related: sovereign power, disciplinary power, state biopolitics, and (neo) liberal biopolitics. Passing from certain power technologies to others does not entail the existence of eras of power or the disappearance of powers. What changes is their prevalence. This study analyzes the differences between disciplinary power and biopower, the transformation of disciplinary power into state power and the transformation of this latter into (neo)liberalism.
