Abstract

There are two kinds of Power: subjective and objective. The former, repre- sents the desire of man. The latter, the real relationship between the individual subject and the totally Other. In this second meaning, the Power is originally the monstrous look of the mythical Gorgone, the look of death. The human culture, from ancient Greeks, inaugurated the public politics through the progressive built of visible and formal Institutions of Power. After two thousand and five hundred years, in the later modern age, the biopolitics rea- lized the catastrophic rationalization of society, producing the techno-bureaucratization of death (Shoà or Atomic Bomb). Now, in the actual postmodern age, the techno-informatics digital and algorithmic transformation produces a new kind of Power: the psychopolitics that is without place and formless. Nowadays the individual subject is happy to work for the Power that uses the desire of man for its own goal of empowerment. In this way, it appears again the look of the new, virtual Gorgone.
