Abstract

Civil society is the concept formulated by the liberal thought in order to oppose the sphere of individual liberties to the state power abuses. The reinterpretation of its content trough a typical liberal biopolitics was possible by the economical management of the social and the individual sovereign claims. Later, such reinterpretation led to an homogenization attempt of its political model. We try to examine in the contemporary political and social practices such totalitarian alignment, which irrigates every understanding of the different trough a racism already incorporated, besides, in everyday life.
