Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse Foucault’s pedagogy of resistance that positions itselfnot against power but against the states of domination. The states of domination, beingthe states of coagulation, annihilate the flow of the power-freedom force. In the first partof the paper, the vital relation between freedom and power as well as two opposed modes ofproduction of the subject are presented (passive subjection that is assujetissement and activesubjectivisation that is subjectivation). The second part is devoted to the issue of beingnobody. Therein, being nobody is conceived of as the situation that completely works for theflow of the power-freedom force and at the same time is directed against identity as one ofthe states of domination.
