Resumo
We analyze in this dissertation how it was possible that Christian practices were linked to the
political sphere, serving as the basis for the composition of a set of procedures for the
government of men and the population. We also examined how pastoral power made it
possible for the political power to appropriate its techniques, which were once only directed to
the spiritual direction of individuals and which also formed part of the mechanisms of
political administration of the population. To that end, we sought to verify the notion of
pastoral power and its relation to the concept of biopolitics in Foucault, having as its base text
the work Security, Territory, Population, course given in the Collège de France (1977-1978).
Pastoral power, as an "art of man government", made possible the emergence of biopolitics, a
new technology of power, serving not only as a model, with respect to the appropriation of his
techniques of government over men, but also to the destitution of the political man for the
emergence of a servile, obedient and docile man. For Foucault, the mechanisms currently
used for the control of man as a species were developed within the pastoral power. We deal
with the pastoral power in Foucauldian analysis, about how the relation with the figure of the
pastor occurred over time until it had crystallized with Christianity in the figure of the
provider, of the one who watches and cares. We try to analyze how biopolitics launches its
roots and how it spreads in human life, taking proportions never before imagined. In the
relationship between Christianity and biopolitics, we sought to understand how biopolitics
finds in Christian power an appropriate ground for development, using its technologies and
how the notion of government is transformed in an art of governing.
