Gilles Deleuze and the contemporary biopolitical debate

Este trabajo investiga el aporte de Gilles Deleuze al debate contemporáneo en torno al biopoder. En primer lugar, analizamos su interpretación de la concepción foucaulteana de la biopolítica, en particular la matriz vitalista de su lectura, y examinamos su impacto en la distinción entre "biopoder" y "biopolítica" de ciertos autores (Lazzarato, Negri, Revel). Luego, relevamos la presencia de nociones deleuzeanas en otras perspectivas (lo "impersonal" en Esposito, la "sociedad de control" en Negri). Finalmente, proponemos renovar las tensiones fundamentales del debate acerca de la vida, la política, el lenguaje y la condición del hombre, sirviéndonos de conceptos elaborados por DeleuzeThe present work is a research on Gilles Deleuze's contribution to the contemporary biopolitical debate. To begin with, we analyze his interpretation of Foucault's conception of biopolitics, especially the vitalist matrix of his reading, and we examine its impact on the distinction between "biopower" and "biopolitics" according to certain authors (Lazzarato, Negri, Revel). We then reveal the presence of deleuzian notions in other perspectives (the "impersonal" in Esposito, the "society of control" in Negri). Finally, we propose renewing the fundamental tensions of the debate on Life, Politics, Language and the Condition of Man, based on concepts elaborated by Deleuze.Fil: Antonelli, Marcelo.
