| description | The paper presents a socio-philosophical problematization of the mediatic dimension of our contemporary modes of coexistence that adopts the analytical and critical perspective formulated by Michel Foucault. Firstly, the problematicity of the absence of an in-depth inquiry into mass communication devices in his work is taken as a starting point; and it is proposed a reading of Foucault’s oeuvre focusing on the few places in which he referred to the theme, especially his reflections on the emergence of the notion of “public” as a dimension of the “population”. Secondly, it establishes the ways in which his thinking has been resumed by contemporary thinkers who have placed the centrality of communicational techniques of power, such as Maurizio Lazzarato and Byung-Chul Han, and reinterpreted using in both cases Gilles Deleuze's proposals on control societies. In this respect, the focus is on how the concepts of “biopolitics” and “biopower” have been critically retaken as starting points for the construction of notions, such as “noopolitics” and “psychopolitics”, which seek to give account of the forms of power that are exercised no longer on bodies but primarily on the mind or psyche. |

Se plantea un trabajo de problematización socio-filosófica de la dimensión mediática de nuestros modos contemporáneos de coexistencia que retoma la perspectiva analítico-crítica formulada por Michel Foucault. En primer lugar, se considera la problematicidad de la ausencia de una indagación en profundidad al respecto en su obra; y se enfocan los escasos lugares en los que él mismo se refirió a la temática, especialmente sus indicaciones relativas a la emergencia de la noción de “público” como una dimensión particular de la población. En segundo lugar, se abordan los modos en que su pensamiento ha sido retomado por pensadores contemporáneos que han situado la centralidad de las técnicas comunicacionales de poder, como Maurizio Lazzarato y Byung-Chul Han, y que se han planteado la necesidad de avanzar más allá sirviéndose en ambos casos de las propuestas de Gilles Deleuze sobre las sociedades de control. En particular, se sitúa cómo los conceptos de “biopolítica” y “biopoder” de Foucault son reformulados para construir nociones, tales como las de “noopolítica” y “psicopolítica”, que buscan dar cuenta de las formas de poder que se ejercen ya no sobre los cuerpos sino primariamente sobre la mente o la psique.
