Prenatal life ? classifying and governing
Original language description
The paper examines the theme of the prenatal life as the specific part of contemporary forms of biopolitics, biopower (Foucault, Arendt, Heller). This is analysed in the particular example relating to the current Czech reproductive medicine. From the standpoint of critical social theory, defining, testing and governing the prenatal life are typically biopolitical not only for its use of terminological purification, and the desire to decision of when a human being is an object of biology and when an subject with rights. Prenatal care is also an example of the biopolitical management of the population and the technology of specific treatment, definition, or shaping of the category of life itself (Foucault, Agamben, Lemke).
