Abstract

The article analyzes power with reliance on pleasure, which in the anthropological perspective is considered as the result of human education and the disciplinary practices carried out in terms of cultural mediation and sublimation of desires. It is shown that in the process of power implementation the pleasure is diversifyed. It acts, on the one hand, as the goal of power, the desire for greater power and pleasure, and, on the other, as an actual stimulus to submission. The conclusion of the article is that the transformation of various discourses of power, as well as its legitimization (de-legitimization), directly relates to the change in the forms and values of pleasure.
Keywords:
anthropology of power, power and pleasure, disciplinary practices of power, education, pleasure in the structure of the existential experience of power
