This essay examines the process of "governmentalization" of the State and its consequences for the its own community. Based on genealogic works and contemporary studies, an attempt is made at mapping some ways in which mechanisms for control and regulation of populations are begin re-created and re-organized, renewing the normalizing ability of the state domain. The analysis points out the move of contemporary government into the territory of immaterial labor within public service when it articulates the use of new telematic technologies with the production of subjectivities which "desire" control.
