Abstract

The exercise of power operates through a special modality of action, of an agonic nature, which can be understood as the government of one’s own actions and the actions of others. Government means ordering a field of probabilities by conducting conducts, that is, governing is “conducting” actions. Self-care and care for others need to be intertwined in the management of practices that feed the circulation of power asymmetries, in order, in this way, to better welcome the ethical movements of invention of oneself.

Keywords: Humanization; Selfcare; Ethics; Psychic Suffering
