2000 words  Difference between domination and legitimacy. (Weber)  "If one can apply the tenn bio-history to the pressures through which the movements oflife and the proc- esses of history interfere with one another, one would have to speak of bio-power to designate what brought life and its  mechanisms into the realm ofexplicit calculations and made knowledge-power an agent of transfonnation of human life" 143  "But what might be called a society's "threshold of modernity" has been reached when the life of  the species is wagered on its own political strategies. For millennia, man remained what he was for Aristotle: a living animal with the additional capacity for a political existence; modern man is an animal whose politics places his existence as a living being in question." 143  "Another consequence of this development of bio-power was the growing importance assumed by the action of the norm, at the expense of the juridical system of the law. Law cannot help but but be armed, and its arm, par excellence, is death; to those who transgress it, it replies, at least as a last resort, with that absolute menace. " 144  anathomo-politics of the humana body and bio-politics of the human populations.
