TY - JOUR TI - Discipline, Biopoower, Immunitas: Introduction to Studies on Power Mechanisms in Józef Mackiewicz’s War Novels AU - Woźniak, Adam TI - Discipline, Biopoower, Immunitas: Introduction to Studies on Power Mechanisms in Józef Mackiewicz’s War Novels AB - The aim of the article is to provide a preliminary identification of the mechanisms of power in Józef Mackiewicz’s war novels. The first part focuses on the tools of discipline and biopower. Particular attention is paid to the methods of gaining knowledge of the individual subject (confession) and the collective subject (Foucauldian security, immune mechanisms). In both cases, the mechanism of acquiring knowledge of the subject is at the same time a method of its production. The second part complements these considerations by providing an analysis of methods of resistance to both types of power. The third part considers the thesis according to which the mechanisms of population production and protection may be combined in Mackiewicz’s novels with the so-called immunological understanding of war.
