The transition of the worker (European) from the Middle Ages to the Modern forced the bourgeois means of production to create ways of positivizing the culture of labour. Beyond the ideologies and misery, themselves, as promoters of the work culture, what we intend in this article is to highlight the role of social security as instruments of subjectivation and normalization, originally disciplinary; using a Foucauldian reading of the theme. We will start from how disciplinary techniques have adjusted workers' bodies to work and have fixed them with the help of pension funds, until we come to the current understanding of social security reforms and counter-reforms as a result of what has today been recognized as a necropolitics. Currently, no longer only of European workers (but global), seen as something that in the name of a biopolitics has become this ultra-defence of life. A defence that, on the edge, would justify even the death of a large part of the population. Therefore, we have the passage from biopolitics to necropolitics. And in the same order, we have the passage of a social security system which is no longer made for the aid or the fixation of the worker, but for the management of the use and disposal (death itself) of this same subject in the labour market.

This article has aims to present some aspects related to the question of the body in the philosophy of Michel Foucault. For this, our investigation will happen in two moments: in the first moment we will analyze the relation of the body with medicine to perceive how the vision of this knowledge about the body has changed since the seventeenth century, we will see that there is a relation between the medical view and the body itself. The second moment will be dedicated to an explanation about the relation between power and body; it will be possible to notice that the subjective practices are determined from cultural devices proper to a cultural reality. In this respect, disciplinary power, which has its base in the panopticon, was preponderant element for the design of the domestication of bodies. Finally, it is not possible to affirm a theory about the body in the French philosopher's thought, because his investigation brings to light the complexity of the cultural structures that determine the diverse perceptions about this body.

My article focuses on examining the significance of location in determining the manner in which the discipline of International Relations is schooled in India. Drawing from my biographical experience both as a student & teacher of International Politics at New Delhi, I shall grapple particularly with the question of what it means to be engaging a predominantly Anglo-American construct in a postcolonial milieu. Simply cast, how can issues relating to identity, power asymmetries & contextual Weltanschauungs be acknowledged without stymieing the possibility of a genuinely inclusive cosmopolitan conversation? Alternatively, is our quest for the magic potion to bridge existing hierarchies ultimately yet another elusive fiction especially for those at the margins of the global episteme?

O presente artigo pretende mostrar, a partir do curso "O poder psiquiátrico" ministrado por Michel Foucault no Collège de France em 1973-1974, a relação entre exercícios ascéticos e as práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas nas comunidades religiosas medievais e a constituição histórica do poder disciplinar. Para isso, avalia-se o lugar estratégico dos cursos de Foucault para a compreensão de seu pensamento, assim como se aponta a consequência de sua análise, qual seja, por um lado, a necessidade da solidão, do isolamento para a produção do conhecimento e, por outro lado, entretanto, a necessidade de romper este isolamento, tendo em vista a circulação social do saber. Encontrar uma resolução para este conflito constitui-se, por sua vez, numa forma de resistência ao poder disciplinar.

The text is part of a doctoral research process in education, and dialogues, in an essayistic manner, with themes such as the city, images, body and everyday affective crossings. These dialogues tension with education, history, daily life and other ways of thinking about the urban tangle, anchored in the cartographic method. Through formative processes experienced by the author, seek to evidence issues, concerns and discomforts that are still unstable, rehearsed in everyday life and outlined in thought and inventions. It argues that the power of creation and wandering in the city are insurgent ways of ruptures in the face of current conservative advances, paying attention to the exercise of otherness, inventiveness and experimentation, having as main references authors such as Michel Foucault, Suely Rolnik, Félix Guattari , Peter Pelbart, among others.

This article will provide an answer to a question: how to understand international relations as a discipline independent and autonomous from the study of history, demography, international law and other disciplines. Starting from the disciplinary need to understand the evolution of the modern state system, the discipline consolidated itself by creating a subject-matter solidified by a distinct set of theories, techniques and methods. This article will, therefore, reflect on international relations, its subject-matter, theories and methods. Adapted from the source document.
