Biopolitical/thanatological management of populations, using the naturalization of human for exclusionary purposes, is supported by a flexible form of governmental inclusiveness organized by an economic logic: one option does not exclude the other. The racialized subaltern uses his own body for a form of strategic and antagonistic identification. The juridical de-identification, induced by economic evaluation criteria, helps practices of self-management that are political in a different way from traditional one. The subjects who actively fit into the governmental system bypass exclusion in an interesting though problematic way and are oriented towards new and experimental subjectifications.

It represents an element of contrast to the common sense. Following the parallel development of aesthetics, the essay analyzes the changes in the relationship between the "excédent" subjectivity of hero and the background or "sensus communis" which today turns into a repertoire of images in the fictional economy. The middle section of the essay draws, on the suggestion of Arendt and Foucault, this image/form as a performative act of disagreement, which, paradoxically, "save" the heroic phenomena in a time of no heroes. Such as aesthetics turns toward the Truth/Event, imagery coincides with a kind of heroism without "aura", within a hypertrophic space of communication, and nevertheless perhaps attesting to the contrast and the freedom of which the hero is a canonical form

E’ la domanda che l’autrice si pone, a partire da Foucault e dalla risposta che ad essa avevano dato autori come Deleuze e Agamben. Costituisce, infatti, l’oggetto di questo libro l’analisi dei dispositivi disciplinari, che implicano il disciplinamento ortopedico dei corpi, e biopolitici governamentali, che prendono in carico la vita, la incrementano, la curano. Pur rispondendo a logiche diverse, essi mantengono il carattere sostanzialmente inclusivo della governabilità delle vite, valutate e selezionate in base a criteri di rischio e potenzialità. Una selezione che, seguendo il codice economico, orienta verso una direzione negandone altre, incentiva soggettività marginalizzandone altre. Ed è proprio nel comportamento economico che vengono colti i caratteri persistenti di governamentalità delle vite, anche al di là del dirigismo economico dello Stato, della gestione politica, welfarista, dell’economia: la bioeconomia produce soggettivazioni, interne al dispositivo ma allo stesso tempo ambiguamente eccedenti, mettendo così in scacco la logica moderna del soggetto astratto e universale

Today it also, and above all else, needs to be the governing of processes of subjectivation, of the production of forms of life shaping the social space. The Neo-liberal turn, dating back to thirty years ago and that today appears willing to overcome the terrible, global, ongoing economic crisis by strengthening its junctions rather than significantly modifying them, has drastically increased the number of subjects of politics to include different forms of social powers, without depriving the old ones of their authority. The main feature of this new kind of political rationality, that finds in the market its legitimacy criterion, is, in fact, as we all are well aware, a co-existence and co-presence of the old with the new and, therefore, an overlapping of languages and rationalities

The essay argues that the ontology of the individual elements and immanent social powers that cannot be transcended is functional to the neo-liberal governmentality, which organizes the disconnection through competition and determines an heavy anti-democratic hierarchy. We must see the complexity of coexistence, highlighting the gaps of the neoliberal narrative and the persistence of the modern discourse of rights together with new molecular struggles
