من الجسد المروَّض إلى الجسد الطوباويّ عند فوكو

Abstract

This articlepresents a philosophical investigation into the concept of the "body" in Michel Foucault's thought, tracing the conceptual trajectory from the docile/disciplined body—subjected to institutional power mechanisms and biopolitics—to the utopian body, which serves as a locus of resistance and aesthetic potential.

The study examines the methodological evolution in Foucault's inquiry, highlighting his transition through phenomenology, structuralism, and archaeology, ultimately adopting a Nietzschean genealogical approach that analyzes events in their material singularity. The author connects these insights to Foucault's later ethical works on the "use of pleasure" and the "care of the self," demonstrating how the body shifts from being a passive target of social control into a dynamic space for political resistance, self-creation, and freedom
