Generally speaking, biopolitics means the form of management by power centers of control of bio-logical processes, which establish normative levels of life and death. A literature review shows broad theoretical considerations (e.g. M. Foucault, G. Agamben). In this reflection on biopolitics, I would like to take into account the multidimensional optics, covering global economic, cultural, and political processes, with a special emphasis on the normative level of these processes. The theoretical analysis will focus on the issues of crossing two given types of biopolitics: traditional biopolitics and modern biopolitics, as well as trying to find changes in their broadly understood social activities.}, type={text}, title={Biopolitical horizons — between traditional biopolitics and modern biopolitics}, keywords={modern biopolitics, traditional biopolitics, life, body, Foucault, Michael (1926-1984), Agamben, Giorgo (1942-)}, }
