Abstract

ABSTRACT: The concept of power developed in the last phase of the thought of Michel Foucault adjusts to its conception of subject, problematizing itself. It is treated to show this moment of critical reevaluation, concern to its relation into the power and the freedom. From then on Foucault arrives at a valuable conclusion: the relation of power is productive but its effect are mediated by a adaptative reaction of the individual, what conditional them an ethical-aesthetic value. The regimen of power is defined, thus, with the contribution of the resistance of individual to the danger to be governed by a subjectification function. Governmentality is this relation of problematic domination, characterized for the dissolution of the individual freedom for the mechanisms of production of subjects and for the individual reaction to the power, that absorbs it in life styles. KEY WORDS: Power. Critical. Freedom. Subject.
