Dispositivos de controle e a construção da subjetividade no cristianismo dos primeiros séculos por Michel Foucault

Abstract

This dissertation examines Michel Foucault's concept of the dispositif (apparatus) by situating it within the historical and theoretical context in which the philosopher developed the term and by analyzing its relationship to the dynamics of power. The discussion begins by contextualizing the emergence of the concept in Foucault's work and exploring how power operates through the dispositif. It then considers the lines of force and strategic configurations that characterize the dispositif before outlining its principal features. Finally, the dissertation investigates the process of subjectivation as it emerges through the interplay between power and dispositifs. By clarifying these key concepts, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of Foucault's analysis of power, knowledge, and the constitution of the subject. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
