摘要
The aim of this article is to call attention to the growing importance of biotechnology for power over life and body and to analyze biotechnology as contemporary biopolitical strategy. Thus biotechnology is comprehended as a political technology investing in the body, improving its qualities, prolonging youth and taking care of health and reproduction. In such a sense it can be seen as preserving or protecting life by helping to improve health, enriching the quality of life and enabling active aging. It intensifies techniques of biopolitics and anatomo-politics (detected by Foucault) and implicates specially derived politics, geno-politics and regenerative politics, which demonstrate that there is power over life and body in contemporaneity that far exceeds the extensions of power during the period of biological modernity. The paper is particularly focused on regenerative medicine as the knowledge-technology-power opening a new horizon for biopower.
