O biopoder e o discurso dos direitos humanos: um estudo a partir de M. Foucalt
Description
This research tries to establish the relationship between the biopower and the human rights, based on Michel Foucault work´s. Reestablishing his analyses about the knowledge and the power, in which the author studies the deep relationship between both, and the need of the truth to the power exercise in the Occident, we will defend the thesis that human rights have been performing bipolar function on the modern and contemporary biopolitics societies; that is, the human rights, in the moment that it builds itself as a truthful speech in the Occident, it carries out the function of, on one side, legitimate the biopolitical societies, however, at the same time, to produce they substantial resistances. This these claims to be one more theoretic contribution to understand the actual ample discussion between human rights and how the activation of this speech can contribute to the resistance process to control societiesNenhuma
