The state racism and the war as paradigms of biopolitic

Abstract

The purpose of this papper is to think about the articulations between State Racism and war as paradigms of biopolitics. Based on the clues formulated by Michel Foucault in his project of biopolitics’ genealogy, we set out to think about how the effects of truths in the emergence of racism are not only given by its biological discursivity, but also by the structural and historical bases of law responsible by the production of practices linked to the process of subjection of races within the structure of the modern State. In this way, it can be seen how a genealogy of State Racism comprises the structuring of a triple effect linked to the capillarity of knowledge strategies, power practices and subjectivation processes responsible for maintaining a permanent war against bodies and abject subjectivations to the government machine.

Key words: State racism; War; Biopolitic; Michel Foucault.
