Las nociones de biopolítica y gubernamentalidad desarrolladas por el pensador francés Michel Foucault han sido fundamentales para abrir un nuevo campo de análisis dentro de la filosofía política contemporánea. Permiten analizar cómo las ciencias humanas y jurídicas se insertan en los marcos políticos tejidos desde el liberalismo y el neoliberalismo constituyendo un conjunto de estrategias dirigidas a gobernar la población. Se trata de un conjunto de tecnologías y racionalidades políticas, que, aunque hibridan estrategias de gobierno a diferentes escalas, tienen como marco común la gestión, organización y dirección de la vida. Los análisis de Foucault abren un nuevo imaginario en relación a la política de la vida y la experiencia donde dimensiones como la sexualidad, la salud y la enfermedad, el urbanismo o la higiene pública se revelan como ejes fundamentales de las formas de gubernamentalidad contemporáneas.
