Resumen

JIMENEZ VILLAR, Beltrán. Han, Foucault Reader. Eidos [online]. 2020, n.33, pp.293-317.  Epub 25-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1692-8857.

The main ideas of Han's thought are built against concepts of Foucault's philosophy: psychopolitics as overcoming biopolitics, transparency as a non-perspectivist panopticon and self-care as the most effective technique for dominating individuals who submit voluntarily while believing that they are free. In this paper I evaluate this reading, underlining the imprecisions on which his reading of Foucault is based: he does not understand the inciting character of biopolitics and forgets the importance of perspective in the panopticon and the impossibility of escaping from power relations.

Palabras clave : Han; Foucault; biopolitics; psychopolitics; transparency; panopticon; care of the self.
