abstract = {In this article I try to characterize biopower and biopolitics and show how these conceps can be useful in descripction and analyse of selected socio-cultural phenomena of the contemporary. I start from the terminological confusion that can arise here because of previous functioning of biopower and biopolitics in the scientific and the political discours. Then I move on to present the ideas of Michel Foucault, who created, somehow misty and sketchy, but still inspiring theoretical background based on these two concepts. Neo-Foucauldian researches (Paul Rabinow, Nikolas Rose, Thomas Lemke, Majia Holmer Nadesan, Mitchell Dean) took the work on developing this heritage.
