This article is a brief exposition of the discursive formation of biopolitics proposed by Michel Foucault in the seventies. The purpose is to present the original theoretical statute of the aforementioned concept as a double-sided technology, established in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which intervenes and establishes regulatory controls over biological life in two ways that are not antithetical. The first focuses on the body as a machine: anatomopolitics of the human body. The second focuses on the body-species: it is the biopolitics of the population. The methodology used is a documentary-type analysis that grouped the courses: Defend society; Security, territory and population and Birth of biopolitics, as well as the book History of sexuality 1, to learn in a synthetic way and reflect on the idea and original meaning of the term as a technology for conducting individual and collective conduct.
