To the criticism of biopolitics. Unsafe Other and security contradictions of the postmodern epoch
The article looks for alternatives to the dominant project of the biopolitical concept of security. It is noted that the biopolitical security device, in order to expand its borders, is forced by an inverted movement not to isolate the threat but to project it outward. Structurally, the "naked life" of an individual and masses is supplemented by a threatening mythological Other, that can take on various bizarre appearances. Here the passivity of a potential victim undergoing violence in a crisis of power, politics and the state is supplemented by active passivity or interpassiveness in relation to the mythologized Other.
