It is intended to comment the relationships between philosophy and politics in antiquity, discussed by these authors, and, envision effects of these relationships which culminated in the government of the men in the Christian age. After that, it is intended to conjecture how, in the modern context, the biological life became a preoccupation in politics. Thus this work tries to identify their different approaches to power and problematize these approaches in their typical ways of considering politics and the theme of origin / A presente dissertação investiga proximidades e distâncias das análises políticas realizadas por Hannah Arendt e Michel Foucault. Pretende-se comentar as relações entre filosofia e política na Antiguidade, discutidas pelos pensadores, e, a partir das condições de possibilidade daí resultantes, vislumbrar efeitos destas relações que culminaram no governo dos homens na Era cristã. Após, pretende-se conjecturar de que modo, no contexto moderno, deu-se a preocupação com a vida biológica na política. Assim, procura-se identificar suas diferentes abordagens sobre o poder e problematizá-las a partir de seus modos próprios de considerar a política e o tema da origem

In this sense, comes to expose how Foucault thinks the power and reflects on the poverty of resistance, then place the thought of the French philosopher in relation to the city, its close relationship with the birth of biopolitics, highlighting its necessary strategic complement to tanatopolitics. Thereafter, depart in search of rethinking the national movement of urban reform, making certain reservations to the strong political investment that is made in a urban law that promises the revolution, eliminating social injustice that results from the division of urban space between the city and the slum, but it turned out to harm local and specific resistance of social movements practices, fulfilling their goals only reasonably. At the end, make a call to rethink the use of urban law, betting that a new desire to urban revolution may prove to be from the subjects knowledges of the people of the slum / Este trabalho tem como objetivo abordar certos problemas do poder e da resistência, no âmbito da biopolítica, sob a perspectiva do pensador francês Michel Foucault, tendo em vista a persistência da crise nas cidades brasileiras desde a década de 80, apesar de todo o esforço do movimento nacional pela reforma urbana. Neste sentido, trata de expor como Foucault pensa o poder e reflete sobre a pobreza das resistências, para depois situar o pensamento do filósofo francês em relação à cidade, em sua estreita relação com o nascimento da biopolítica, destacando seu necessário complemento estratégico, a tanatopolítica. A partir daí, partirá em busca de repensar o movimento nacional da reforma urbana, fazendo certas reservas ao intenso investimento político que se fez em um direito urbanístico que promete a revolução, eliminando a injustiça social que decorre da divisão do espaço urbano entre a cidade e a favela, mas que acabou por prejudicar as práticas locais e específicas de resistência dos movimentos sociais, cumprindo apenas razoavelmente seus objetivos. No final, fará um convite para se repensar o uso do direito urbanístico, apostando que um novo desejo de revolução urbana possa vir a se constituir a partir dos saberes sujeitados do povo da favela

Modernity is the proper territory for the idea of finitude to be explained in the philosopher’s thought. The modern episteme, a priori record of the human sciences, is its soil / O presente trabalho contempla o estudo das noções de “finitude” em Michel Foucault, notadamente em As palavras e as coisas (1966), a partir da noção de “analítica da finitude”.

To achieve this purpose, the concept of “agon” and “agonism” that the philosopher elaborate will be used as an interpretative key to apprehend what we could understand as an “aporia of freedom” in his theoric production ; that is to say freedom as condition of existence of power and freedom as ontological condition of ethics. In this sense, his consideration about resistance will also be of great importance for the development of our research / O presente trabalho procura compreender a problemática da liberdade no pensamento de Michel Foucault em sua correlação com o poder, a ética e a resistência. Para isso, valer-nos-emos do conceito de “agon” e de “agonismo” que o filósofo elabora como chave interpretativa para darmos conta do que entendemos ser uma “aporia da liberdade” em sua produção teórica, isto é, uma liberdade que é, simultaneamente, condição de existência do poder e condição ontológica da ética. Nessa linha, sua reflexão sobre a resistência será de capital importância para o encaminhamento de nossa pesquisa

Cette dissertation traite de la manière selon laquelle les actrices noires se constituent ellesmêmes à partir de la formation théâtrale et de l’exercice professionnel au théâtre. À partir du témoignagne de cinq actrices noires, de Porto Alegre au Brésil, ce travail aborde le discours du blanchiment, engendré par le projet colonisateur comme moyen de subjectivisation qui agit fréquemment sur les femmes noires. Il démontre l’occurence de pratiques sociales qui révèlent l’influence d’un tel discours sur les corps des actrices et sur la manière dont elles se conduisent dans le monde. Il examine la reproduction de stéréotypes rapportés à l’image des femmes noires dans la dramaturgie en tant que vestiges du discours du blanchiment dans ces domaines, qui font obstacle au développement professionnel des actrices noires. Il établit une relation entre les éléments abordés par la formation théâtrale et par les pratiques théâtrales contemporaines et les études de Michel Foucault, à la lumière du concept d’attention à soi et d’une pratique ascétique à lui associée, l’écriture de soi. Grâce à cette relation, cette recherche présente des alternatives pour l’élaboration de la subjectivité des actrices noires comme résistance aux processus de blanchiment, montrant la formation comme possibilité de dire de soi au théâtre. / A dissertação trata sobre o modo como mulheres atrizes negras constituem a si mesmas a partir da formação teatral e do exercício profissional em teatro. A partir do depoimento de cinco atrizes negras de Porto Alegre, Brasil, o trabalho aborda o discurso do embranquecimento, engendrado pelo projeto colonizador como modo de subjetivação que frequentemente atua sobre as mulheres negras. Em um diálogo com questões apontadas pelo feminismo negro, demonstra a ocorrência de práticas sociais que revelam a influência de tal discurso sobre os corpos das atrizes e sobre a forma como elas se conduzem no mundo. Examina a reprodução de estereótipos relacionados à imagem das mulheres negras na dramaturgia como rastros do discurso do embranquecimento nessas áreas, que obstaculizam o desenvolvimento profissional das atrizes negras. Relaciona os elementos abordados pela formação teatral e pelas práticas teatrais contemporâneas com os estudos de Michel Foucault, à luz do conceito de cuidado de si e de uma prática ascética associada a ele, a escrita de si. Por meio dessa relação, a pesquisa apresenta alternativas para a elaboração da subjetividade das atrizes negras como resistência aos processos de embranquecimento, mostrando a formação como possibilidade de dizer de si no teatro.

Språket har en central roll i diskursanalys eftersom språket formar vår verklighet. På samma sätt bidrar medier till hur vi upplever världen omkring oss. Medier förmedlar representationer av verkligheten och utesluter samtidigt andra. Ett forum där detta sker är sexrådgivningsspalter i kvällstidningar. En klichéartad bild av den sexuella relationen mellan man och kvinna är att mannen ses som styrd av drifter och instinkt medan kvinnan är nästintill ointresserad av sex. Biologiska skillnader används ofta som argument för att hävda olikheter som dessa och en av den här studiens utgångspunkter är att konstruktioner av kön, genus och sexualitet har moderniserats men likväl fortfarande produceras. Syftet med studien är att med hjälp av genusteoretisk diskursanalys undersöka hur kön, genus och sexualitet konstrueras i sexrådgivningsspalter i Aftonbladet och Expressens söndagsbilagor under 2008. Vid diskursanalys är teori och metod nära sammankopplade. De teoretiker som ligger till grund för studien är bland andra Michel Foucault, Judith Butler och Ernesto Laclau och Chantal Mouffe. Genom att kombinera dessa teoretikers perspektiv med varandra har jag funnit ett fruktbart angreppssätt för intresseområdet. Analysen visar på konstruktioner av kön, genus och sexualitet genom att för varje tema med tillhörande underteman ge exempel från analysmaterialet. I samtliga analyserade texter utgår Aftonbladet och Expressens sexrådgivning från att män och kvinnor är biologiskt olika och nästan samtliga texter utgår från att människors handlingar är ett uttryck för en inre genusidentitet som är olika för män och kvinnor. Studien visar att både traditionella könsroller och en obligatorisk heterosexualitet konstrueras i sexrådgivningens diskurs. Inom den hegemoniska sexdiskurs som kvällstidningars söndagsbilagor ger uttryck för är det legitimt att tala positivt om heterosexuella samlag och olika sorters sexdrifter (mellan män och kvinnor) som styrks med referenser till bland annat forskning som legitimerar biologiska skillnader mellan män och kvinnor. Det finns ett snävt utrymme för alternativ till de normativa föreställningar som präglar större delen av analysmaterialet men i den mån de existerar redogör analysen även för konkurrerande och antagonistiska diskurser i sexrådgivning.

Over the past decade, the United Kingdom has witnessed a proliferation of civil-military initiatives that have engendered overt and celebratory displays of support for the British Armed Forces. This thesis interrogates two of these initiatives: the annual public relations event Armed Forces Day and the military charity Help for Heroes. Significantly, these initiatives have emerged against a backdrop of morally and politically contentious military violence, notably in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hence, these initiatives raise important questions about the type of politics which underwrite them. In this thesis, I address these questions by critically engaging with a figure who occupies a key position within this UK civil-military landscape: the professional soldier. Adopting a Foucauldian approach, I place this figure within a broader political, social and historical context and show how, since the end of the Second World War, the professional soldier has continually remerged to rewrite the conditions of possibility for liberal war-fighting. Drawing on this insight, I identify a professional soldier, I label the biopolitical military professional, who greatly informs the contours of this contemporary UK civil-military landscape. The biopolitical military professional is an important figure because they are able to co-opt "civilian" political subjects into the service of liberal-warfighting despite a conflict's political context. This is made possible because the biopolitical military professional is a figure who incorporates their military expertise and professional concerns within a wider set of life-administering knowledges concerned with the health and well-being of the population. Crucially, the most overt expressions of biopolitical military professionalism are produced through these UK civil-military initiatives. I demonstrate this by showing how these initiatives mobilise a whole host of "civilian" proto-professional subjects into the active service of liberal war-fighting through an appeal to both their military "obligations" and their fitness and wellbeing. An effect of this is that participating in one of these initiatives becomes more than an act of military support it also becomes a way of partaking in a healthy and life-enriching activity. For example, a day out at Armed Forces Day is a way to get children to take part in active play and educational activities. Supporting the armed forces through Help for Heroes may involve running a marathon or taking part in a long-distance cycle ride. Consequently, via the presence of the biopolitical military professional these initiatives achieve a certain resonance with a civilian population disinterested in the politics of war but increasingly concerned with their health and wellbeing.

Aim: The aim of the study has been to study how a Swedish state authority talks about mental health among children and young people. Method: The study is based on a qualitative discourse analysis in which the Public Health Authority's report was carefully studied. Results: The essay highlights how a Swedish authority presents various factors that affect a child's mental well-being. The Public Health Authority describes the discourse on health as good when healthy lifestyles are anchored at an early age as it affects health for the rest of life. Texts produced within the discourse, just as the report produced by the Public Health Authority, recommend good health habits to be introduced in an early stage of a child's life. To understand what these habits are, the authority describes social practices which govern people's experience of the current discourse. The social practices recommendations guide people to act so that they are given the conditions to create healthy habits and relationships at an early age. The analysis of the report shows two dominant categories that affect children's and young people's mental health, the school and the family. These areas are the main parts that the report describes where several identity perceptions have been identified. The identity perceptions are used to categorize the individual and create a recognition to find a place in society and to its discourses. Based on the different perceptions of identity, it is then determined how the individual's surroundings and actions are perceived.

People sentenced precisely under the law of criminal procedure. The electronic surveillance suggests a natural philosophical interest that revolves around the analysis of issues relating to power, prison, law, the society of discipline and control. Foucault critical texts about power are the guiding track of this research, in order that it allows investigating the procedures related to electronic surveillance that focus on the conduct of individuals sentenced by the State. The analysis of this subject relates to the modern prison management activity, whose way of criminal sanction counts on a significant transformation: the enforcement of criminal punishment can be effective even in distance, that is, outside the prison environment. From this philosophical pathway we recognize that the electronic surveillance is a form of exercise of disciplinary power, where the effects of their relationship fall onto the body of each condemned and extends beyond the prison population. The existence of a society of control suggests that disciplinary mechanisms are expanded in order that we can find an unfinished constitution of the new society, this new social overview that values the progress of technology / O trabalho analisa a vigilância eletrônica de indivíduos-condenados, precisamente no âmbito do direito processual penal, a partir da leitura de alguns escritos de Michel Foucault e Gilles Deleuze. A vigilância eletrônica sugere um singular interesse filosófico que gravita em torno da análise de temas referentes ao poder, à prisão, à lei, à norma, à sociedade da disciplina e à sociedade de controle. A analítica do poder em Foucault constitui o fio condutor desta pesquisa, na medida em que permite investigar os procedimentos vinculados à vigilância eletrônica que incidem sobre a conduta de cada indivíduo condenado pelo Estado. A análise do tema reporta-se à moderna atividade administrativa penitenciária, cuja forma de reprimenda penal conta com uma significativa transformação: o cumprimento da pena criminal pode se efetivar à distância, isto é, fora do ambiente da prisão. A partir das aludidas incursões filosóficas, reconhece-se que a vigilância eletrônica consiste numa forma disciplinar de exercício do poder, em que os efeitos de suas relações recaem sobre o corpo de cada condenado e se estendem para além da população carcerária. A existência de uma sociedade de controle sugere que os mecanismos disciplinares sejam ampliados, de maneira que se encontra inacabada a constituição dessa nova sociedade, desse novo quadro social que valoriza o avanço da tecnologia

Ce travail se fonde sur la littérature critique existante sur les drones militaires, des études de cas et le travail de Michel Foucault sur le biopouvoir pour mettre en évidence les ressorts du pouvoir immunitaire. Nous cherchons à définir la logique immunitaire et à montrer ses ramifications en utilisant une de ses incarnations : les avions sans pilote utilisés à des fins militaires pour la surveillance et le bombardement par les États-Unis notamment. Ce travail analyse principalement les relations de pouvoir auxquelles sont soumis les corps dans l’assemblage. Si les travaux actuels ont insisté sur la place du corps du pilote de drone, ou opérateur, dans l’assemblage disciplinaire, notre étude des corps au sol comme partie intégrante du dispositif homme-machine met en évidence une logique constitutive du nous et du eux. La souveraineté est en effet le mécanisme qui fonde un groupe sur le commun, en excluant les autres, et qui trace ses frontières sur le principe de préservation de ce groupe. Ces frontières peuvent être celles d’un État, du monde occidental, mais aussi de certains quartiers, dans les villes, plus rentables que d’autres. Ce souci de préservation d’une communauté va aller de pair avec le développement d’un racisme institutionnalisé servant à organiser les vies à protéger et celles qu’on peut abandonner et même, et c’est pour cela que le pouvoir immunitaire superpose biopouvoir et pouvoir souverain, à éliminer si l’on estime qu’elles posent une menace. / This work draws on the existing critical literature on drone warfare, case studies and Michel Foucault’s work on biopower to highlight how immunity unfolds. I seek to define immunity by using one of its embodiments: pilotless devices used in contemporary conflicts for surveillance and bombing, mostly by the United States. This work mainly analyses the power relations to which the bodies that form the drone assemblage are subjected. If current analyses have insisted on the position of the drone pilot, or drone operator, in the disciplinary assemblage, my focus on the bodies on the ground as an essential part of the man-machine apparatus shows a way of constituting us and them. Sovereignty is indeed the mechanism by which a group constitutes itself on what they have in common, excluding others, and which confuses its borders with the principle of preservation. These borders can be those of a State, of the western world, but also of some city neighbourhoods. This obsession with community preservation is going to develop in parallel with institutionalised racism, which serves to organise lives which must be protected and those which can be abandoned and even killed if considered a threat. This is why I argue that biopower and sovereign power overlap in immune power.
