VALENCIA MESA, David Enrique. The logic of social and governmentality in foucault: an instrumental for political analysis. Prax. filos. [online]. 2014, n.39, pp.111-133. ISSN 0120-4688.

In the courses given by Foucault in the College de France since 1978, he proposed an analysis of governmentality which, although it was not completely absent in previous works, it did seem unseen due to protagonist disciplinary analysis. Such analysis of Governmentality consists of showing how strategies and rationalities of the government are built from the management and modulation of processes innate to governed individuals and groups. It is not then about understanding the power as an external force against individuals by reprehending and eliminating them; it is about understanding it as a strategy promoting natural processes so that subjects built up their identity

Keywords : Michel Foucault; Governmentality; population; genealogy of power.
