Discursos de inovação e as urgências da sociedade: reflexões acerca do dispositivo de segurança e Michel Foucault

Abstract

This paper aims to promote a reflection about the resistence possibilities to biopower, a notion that will be considered from the conception formulated by Michel Foucault. According to the readings of the French philosopher’s work, the population is understood as action field and the safety devices as instruments. From these guidelines, the problem of the tendency to incitement of discourses of innovation is elaborated, articulated as a reaction to the problems that contemporary society faces.
