O PROBLEMA DA OBEDIÊNCIA NO CONTEXTO DA GOVERNAMENTALIDADE EM MICHEL FOUCAULT

Abstract

The reflection on the theme of government and the "governmentality"gained a privileged place in Foucault's research since the course of 1978, Security, territory, population. In this context, Foucault, proposing to make a "genealogy" of
governmentality, finds in the pastorate a singular technology of government, marked, among other things, by an instance of pure obedience, in which obedience is worth by itself. The purpose of this paper is to examine the author's analysis of the problem of pure and integral obedience, which emerges from the christian pastorate and is part of
the Foucaultian investigation of governmentality, in order to understand its meaning, its objective and its specificity, as conceived by Foucault
