Sumario:In this paper, we analyse the counter-conducts presented by Michel Foucault in the course of 1978 Sécurité, Territoire, Population. Our suggestion relies on the examination of the Christian pastorate and the reaction to this form of power characterized by the conduct of life; from which is possible to notice Foucault has dislocated his political thought, considering power as practices of government. This understanding leads the counter-conducts that come with the pastorate and remain in the reactions front of the practices of government. Hence, the counter-conducts appear as ethical and political actions, at the origin of the critical attitude of modernity. Thus, when we analyse the genealogy of the government we believe that the contemporary struggles defined as “desubjectifications struggles” (luttes de désassujettissement) have their traces in the counter-conducts and in the Foucauldian critique.
