The present essay deals with a discussion and analysis on a theme that, in the current historical period, has emerged quite prominently. To do so, we start with a small rescue of what power is, in the context of the modern nation-state, that is, power as an entity capable of “control and domination over men and things”, that is, over asovereign territory, with laws and norms capable of guiding both the natural zoés, the naked bodies of the natural man, and the bio-politician, the man, democratically participative and subjugated to the established powers
