Not much studied; the last stage of Michel Foucault's thought brings important contributions to the ethic and politic debate of our time, especially because it emphasizes the roll of the individual and of collectivities in the struggles for the transformation of the actual power structures. The way the struggles for resistance are, and their importance in the framework of the last Foucault reveal a political dimension that before was unsuspected in his work. This dimension, more than the analytic of power, grants for the small and multiple movements of contestation an important and decisive roll for the future of the socio-political life, away from the scheduled frame of the political parties established and from the way of action instituted. This makes us retake, from new theoretical references, the discussion about the revolutionary potential still possible nowadays.
