biopolitics
(en)
biopolitics: a term defined by Foucault (though not first) as the style of government that regulates populations through "biopower" (the application and impact of political power on all aspects of human life)
this theme is central in an argument like that of Hardt and Negri, who make the antithesis between global civil war (itself comprising multiple visible or invisible wars) and the multitude (with its forms of resistance and modes of communication) the defining characteristic of the new revolutionary politics they propose, dubbing it ‘bio-politics’
