Foucault, beyond disciplinary power and biopower

The article analyses Foucault's concept of power in its genealogical phase. It seeks to identify a specific and unnamed content, which differentiates itself from and by the well known categories of disciplinary power and biopower. Its main argument relies on the possibility of identifying a foucauldian concept of power whose substance, once avoiding the ideas of repression and law, turns out to be productive, positive and, particularly, emancipatory.
