RESUMO
Michel Foucaults work highlights body as expression and support from forces of power and knowledge, which get strategically articulated, in occidental societys history. Embodiment occupies a central position in Foucaults work, which points it out as a bio-political-historical reality; that is, as interpenetrated by history" and a point of support of complex forces correlations, over which fall upon multiple discursive conformations productive of truths that either can reaffirm as recreate the meaning of the present body, or an individual / collective sensibility immanent in it. In this case, it is not the autonomous epistemological subject who produces a useful or lonesome knowledge to the power, but the power-knowledge, the processes and fights which traverse it and that constitute it, and which represent the forms and possible fields of knowledge. In the proportion Foucault takes out from the autonomous subject of knowledge the central role in the process of knowledge production, the body acquires a renewal importance. This project studies from Surveiller et Punir and Histoire de la Sexualité Vol. 1, their aspects about the body and soul, their similarities and differences in each work, and their rearticulations in front of all the Foucaults investigations. The body is a piece within a domination and submission play which is present in the whole social net, which turns the body the depository of marks and signs that are inscribed in it, according to the impacts effectiveness, which for their turn has on embodiment its rehearsal field. And the historic soul is a discursive element in the production of conceptions around and across the body (FAPESP).
