Descripción
Sumario:Within the broad problematic field that configures the various inquiries about biopolitics, those that stipulate the need to broaden, deepen, complete and even amend the meanings that Michel Foucault gave to this concept during the 1970s stand out. This article will take into consideration the "affirmative biopolitics" developed by Roberto Esposito, which appears characterized as the passage from a politics of life to a politics of life. From the establishment of some tensions between the general guidelines of Foucault's thought and Esposito's biopolitics, it will seek to make explicit the assumptions of the latter and ponder some of its implications.
