Bioidentidades e biossociabilidades: biopoder, regularidade discursiva e subjetivações no ensino de biologia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-12-01) MACÊDO, Luciel Antônio da Silva; Vieira, Eduardo Paiva de Pontes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2902323640527915; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1641-7014
In general terms, this research sought to analyze the discursive formations, the statements referring to molecular biotechnologies, as a knowledge-power, admitting as a hypothesis the premise that these knowledges, legitimized by science, operate as biopolitical devices capable of subjectifying the subject and contribute to the constitution of bioidentities and biosociabilities. In the methodological aspect, I used Michel Foucault's writings as a guide, particularly those related to archeology and genealogy, and others who sought inspiration from him, such as the sociologist Nikolas Rose, the anthropologist Paul Rabinow and the philosophers Francisco Ortega and Peter Pál Perbart. Through the archaeological conception, I made use of concepts such as statements, discourses, discursive practices and within this field, I sought to identify and analyze the discursive regularity of statements related to molecular biotechnology, as well as the epistemic conditions that enabled the production of this knowledge. In Focault's genealogy, the discourse assumes a political character, as it is expressed as an instrument of power and in this field, circumscribed concepts such as knowledge-power, security device, biopower and modes of governability were presented throughout the thesis supporting my analysis. From a theoretical point of view, the research considers that the device of sex, admitted by Foucault, is being replaced by the device of the gene, a form of biopower that in contemporary times acts in the production of subjectivities. Having in the high school Biology books, period corresponding to the last PNLD (2018 to 2020), the enunciative materiality of the speeches, what I could observe from the analyzed statements was a direct relationship between the biotechnological speeches, as a knowledge-power, and the effects that these discourses carry in terms of the construction of bioidentities and biosociabilities. These constructions thus represent an identity production in which the subject, subjectivized by this knowledge-power, identifies himself from a biological construct and, as such, proposes a constant monitoring, under the logic of expert knowledge, of self-care and the search for the utopia of perfect health.

Biopoder e cuidados de si no pensamento de Michel Foucault
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-06) MORELLI, Aldo Ambrósio; VASCONCELOS, Paulo Alexandre Cordeiro de
It stands up relative questions to the constitution of the contemporary subjectivities accompanying, in the thought of Michel Foucault, the transition of his inquiry between the problematization of the obedience regimes, through the set out of the concept of Biopower, and the opening on a possibility of freedom ethics, through the exploration of the concept of care of the self in the ancient thought and in the hellenisthic thought. It the question is a theoretical study anchored in bibliographical inquiry that, like resulted, points to a different problematization of the self that proposal for the contemporary protections.

Dispositivo drogas e governamentalidade neoliberal: funções estratégicas para o exercício do poder sobre os corpos e a população
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-03-14) LIMA FILHO, Eduardo Neves; CHAVES, Ernani Pinheiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5741253213910825; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8988-1910; GOMES, Marcus Alan de Melo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0371519214729478
The present study is developed with the objective of analyzing the strategic role of the drug device in neoliberal governmentality evidenced in Brazil and its strategic function for the exercise of power over bodies, over the population and the exercise of the power of death. In order to do so, itstarts from the theoretical-methodological tools developed by Michel Foucault, especially his analysis of power, including his studies on discourses, and his research on neoliberal governmentality. Thus, the work starts from the idea that it is possible to make use of Michel Foucault's research on power and knowledge, as well as his studies on neoliberal governmentality to understand the dynamics of the fight against drugs in the neoliberal context and its role in the exercise of referred to dynamics of exercising power. Based on the Foucauldian approach, the research problem corresponds to asking to what extent the drug device is managed in the neoliberal context from its usefulness to satisfy certain needs of groups that hold capital, enabling the control of bodies, the population and the exercise of the power of death. To answer the question, the work begins with a critical description of the methodological instruments developed by Michel Foucault, especially in his studies on knowledge and his analysis of power, which are fundamental for thinking about policies to combat drugs from the relations of power and forms of resistance in the neoliberal context. Then, it analyzes neoliberalism and its relations with biopower, emphasizing that Foucault does not reduce his analysis of neoliberalism to an exclusively economic issue and that is what is specific and singular in his position. It also deals with the anti-drug policy, starting with an analysis of drugs as a device in the Foucauldian sense. Then, a genealogical analysis of drug prohibitionism is carried out, without the intention of carrying out an approach that universalizes the issue. The analysis takes place through a cut aimed at understanding the current policy of drug repression in Brazil - without ignoring the strong international influences - from the ruptures that have occurred over the years and the conjunctural changes in the relations of power and resistance, especially since the rise and consolidation of neoliberalism. Finally, the strategic role of the war on drugs policy in neoliberal governmentality is demonstrated, especially in Brazil, concluding that the drug device is able to enable and justify the exercise of disciplinary power, biopolitics and sovereign power, especially over certain vulnerable groups because of its economic condition constantly worsened and precarious by neoliberal policies, as well as it is demonstrated that the changes, triggered in the neoliberal context, regarding the exercise of State racism and its intimate relationship with drug policy, which makes it possible to exercise the power of death on those groups.
