  • Descrição: This text aims to criticize present time adopting Foucault's critic of political reason, deployed in the search of those forms of rationality that defined the general economy of power in Western civilization. In this sense, this paper emphasizes foucauldian thought, considering its contemporariness, its models of analysis and the critics which contest such contemporariness. These models, outpointing the biopower, oppose the traditional conception of modern power, once it is juridically structured around the notion of sovereignty. At last, in the terms of this interpretative switch, it focus on the relevance of the crisis of Nation-State as one of the events that bring up the actual difference, with its dangers and its potentialities.
