Biopower was a term originally coined by French philosopher Michel Foucault to refer to the practice of modern states and their regulation of their subjects through "an explosion of numerous and diverse techniques for achieving the subjugations of bodies and the control of populations". Foucault first used it in his courses at the Collège de France, but the term first appeared in The Will To Knowledge, Foucault's first volume of The History of Sexuality . In both Foucault's work and the work of later theorists it has been used to refer to practices of public health, regulation of heredity, and risk regulation (François Ewald), among many other things often linked less directly with literal physical health. It is closely related to a term he uses much less frequently, but which subsequent thinkers have taken up independently, biopolitics.

  • Biopoder es un término originalmente acuñado por el filósofo francés Michel Foucault para referirse a la práctica de los estados modernos de "explotar numerosas y diversas técnicas para subyugar los cuerpos y controlar la población". Foucault introdujo este concepto en The Will To Knowledge, el primer volumen de su History of Sexuality. Otros pensadores han tomado este concepto y dado su interpretación particular. (es)
  • Biopoder é um termo criado originalmente pelo filósofo francês Michel Foucault para referir-se à prática dos estados modernos e sua regulação dos que a ele estão sujeitos através de "uma explosão de técnicas numerosas e diversas para obter a subjugação dos corpos e o controle de populações". Foucault usou-o em seus cursos no Collège de France, mas ele apareceu pela primeira vez em A vontade de saber, primeiro volume da História da Sexualidade. Tanto na obra de Foucault quanto na de teóricos posteriores, o termo tem sido usado em referência a práticas de saúde pública, regulação de hereditariedade e regulação de risco (François Ewald), entre outras coisas freqüentemente menos ligadas diretamente à saúde física literal. Está intimamente relacionado com outro termo que ele usa com muito menos freqüência, mas que pensadores subsequentes adotaram independentemente: biopolítica. (pt)
  • Der Begriff der Bio-Macht geht auf Michel Foucault zurück und bezeichnet insbesondere die Problematisierung des modernen menschlichen Subjekts in der systemischen Produktion von Machtwirkungen auf Körper und Leben. Bei Foucault reagiert die Bio-Macht auf das „Auftreten der Bevölkerung“ als ökonomisches und politisches Problem. Es entstehen Kontrolltechnologien der Macht, die Fortpflanzung, Geburten- und Sterblichkeitsrate, Gesundheitsniveau, Lebensdauer und Langlebigkeit mit allen ihren Variablen zum Gegenstand haben. Das Ziel der Bio-Macht bei Foucault ist die Regulation der Bevölkerung. Giorgio Agamben, der die Analyse von Foucault fortschreiben will, versteht die Bio-Macht als Herrschaft des Souveräns über das „nackte Leben“. Das Leben selbst steht bei der Macht auf dem Spiel. Während Foucault Biomacht ausgehend von einem Normalzustand analysiert, wählt Agamben die Position des Ausnahmezustandes. (de)
