Abstract

Author is reconsidering the problematics of biopower in Foucault's lectures »Society must be defended« from the point of view of »Foucault's opus«, his relationship to psychoanalysis and marxism and well-known impasses of his theory of power. Through detailed reading of Dits et écrits he outlines the contours of Foucault's conception of biopolitics, its oscillation between »police« and »passage to society of norm«, and examines its connection with the elaboration of a new theory of subject.
