| Summary: | The strategies of power metamorphosed intensely over the last centuries, from sovereignty to disciplines, until the expansion of biopolitics. In all cases, power would organize around an economy of the body, which departed from the right to generate death, central to absolute monarchy, toward increasingly subtle and sophisticated stratagems that would improve the power to
govern life. Gradually, power becomes less grounded in violent, coercive and repressive practices to diffuse through productive practices that rely on individual autonomy. In other words, power starts to develop and act around the production of subjectivity and image will play a crucial role in this production. The purpose of this article is to present this path of power, ranging from torture to
norm, and from norm to autonomy, to reflect on the strategies of power – biopolitics – in images and videos produced in the media, especially the Internet.
