The state, liberal politics and biopolitics
Keywords:
liberal politics, strategies of social control, Michel FoucaultAbstract
This essay discusses some liberal political actions and their relations with the state. Considering some of their propositions, we ask: what power relations does that social practice respond to? Under what circumstances is the liberal politics interested in the government of men? From a study of the practices called corporate philanthropy we can indicate some strategies and tactics of such politics. Among which: the construction of the modern state, the development of various techniques of social control and the focus changes regarding the analysis of capitalism productive forces that intervene within the economic normality curves inherent in the population phenomena.Downloads
