Abstract

In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of "life" with its political force, at the center of social and political campaigns around the world with the demand of "life", and this has made the necessity of analyzing the political agency of "life" in the political science inevitable .
In order to analyze the political agency of life in our time, the hypothesis of this paper is that with we encounter an ontological turn that "Economy" should become a political phenomenon. This is not through an interpretation of economics as the knowledge of maintaining "balance" in the performance of an "economic enterprise" which is dominant in conventional (mainstream) economics; And it is not achieved with an understanding that considers economy and politics as two areas independent of each other, the superstructure or infrastructure of a social order; Rather, it requires the analysis of how the "person" is politicized through the economization of his approach to "the culture of the self". An analysis that is finally an area of political knowledge that has been able to include the economic issue within its scope, that is, it considers the economic drive as the guiding factor of governing "self" which is a part of the general regime of governance. We have proposed a form of "critique of political economy" that will be able to interpret the realm of general economic categories as the realm around which the struggle for the production/reproduction of individual and social life takes place
