Biopolitics. Power. Violence. H. Arendt. M. Foucault.Abstract
This paper aims to present a critique of naturalistic theories of violence. The context of this critique concerns the naturalization of
violence, which induces the assimilation power as a form of violence. Therefore, we resumed the theses of Hannah Arendt and Michel
Foucault on power and violence. The goal is not to list the differences between these authors on the subject, which are explicit in the development of the test, but show their concordance regarding the critique of power as something synonymous with violence.
