Foucault’s term ‘biopolitics’ refers to:
forms of power over the body, such as physical training, as a means of disciplining the mind
forms of knowledge such as demographic statistics, which allow us to map and measure populations
public health measures, such as improved sanitation and freshwater schemes
intervention by the state to regulate sexual behaviour
forms of knowledge such as demographic statistics, which allow us to map and measure populations
Foucault talked of the rise of a disciplinary society, which exercised power over its members through regulation (demographic control) and discipline (anatomical control of individual bodies). The terms he used to refer to these processes were ‘biopolitics’ and ‘anatomo-politics’, respectively. 276-279
