ABSTRACT
Biopolitics addresses the population as a “political problem” (Foucault, 2003b, p. 245) requiring “regularization” (p. 247). It operates in relation to normalizing and/or optimizing corporeal disciplines (anatomo-politics) performed by, and upon, individuals during the course of everyday life. Biopower, as the synthesis of biopolitics and anatomo-politics, stands as the most pervasive expression of power in the modern period.
