Neste sentido, discorre sobre a reflexão foucaultiana, considerando sua atualidade, os modelos de análise do poder por ela constituídos e as críticas que põem em questão tais modelos no que tange em especial a esta alegada atualidade. Referidos modelos, indicativos do biopoder, configuram uma oposição à concepção tradicional do poder moderno, juridicamente estruturada em torno da noção de soberania. Por fim, com base neste deslocamento interpretativo, aborda-se a relevância da crise do Estado-nação como um dos acontecimentos que introduz a diferença contemporânea, com seus perigos e sua potencialidade.2009text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4818606(Revista) ISSN 2177-7055Seqüência: estudos jurídicos e políticos, ISSN 2177-7055, Vol. 30, Nº. 58, 2009, pags. 131-166engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.

Biopolitics and sovereignity in post-modernity: Foucault and the crisis of nation-state as an issue for a diagnosis of the present

This text aims to criticize present time adopting Foucault’s critic of political reason, deployed in the search of those forms of rationality that defined the general economy of power in Western civilization. In this sense, this paper emphasizes foucauldian thought, considering its contemporariness, its models of analysis and the critics which contest such contemporariness. These models, outpointing the biopower, oppose the traditional conception of modern power, once it is juridically structured around the notion of sovereignty. At last, in the terms of this interpretative switch, it focus on the relevance of the crisis of Nation-State as one of the events that bring up the actual difference, with its dangers and its potentialities.
