Wychowanie do niedojrzałości albo od biopolityki do psychowładzy
Education to Immaturity, or from Biopolitics to Psychopower

Summary/Abstract: Infantia, or immaturity, is one of the characteristic “postmodern maladies”. Such a diagnose becomes easier to comprehend if one considers an essential change: while from Michel Foucalt’s perspective the classical biopolitics comes down to biopower, exercised over societies in order to instrumentalize them as “production machines”, from Bernard Stiegler’s point of view biopolitics has been replaced these days in Western societies with psychopower, instrumentalizing communities as “consuming machines”. The aim of my paper is to reconstruct the main forms of the realization and the consequences of that postmodern psychopower and to outline ways to counteract it.
