Abstract

Namen diplomske naloge je aplicirati Foucaultevo opredelitev biooblasti na sodobno družbeno-politično stanje, v katerega je umeščen podnebni problem. Pojem biooblasti v najširšem pomenu razumem kot mrežo oblastnih odnosov, v katero je vključen vsak posameznik. Aplikacijo biooblasti vidim v sodobnih demokratičnih družbah, kjer se skozi produkcijo vednosti oblast mehanizira in razprši. S Foucaultevo opredelitvijo biooblasti se strinjam, ugotavljam pa, da nam kot političnim subjektom daje občutek politične pripadnosti, vendar nam hkrati odvzema zmožnost rezistence zaradi njene decentraliziranosti. V to mrežo odnosov sem poskušala umestiti okoljski problem. Podnebna znanost zaradi znanstvene vpletenosti v oblastne mehanizme izgublja svoj prvenstveni status, ki ga ima kot izrekovalka resnice- s tem se zrelativizira tudi ostale legitimne poskuse spopadanja s podnebno problematiko, kar pa posledično daje večji pomen osebni odgovornosti. Razvrednotenje znanstvenega konsenza in pluralnost vednosti, ki se v biooblasti proizvajajo, vidim kot glavni vzrok družbeno-politične stagnacije kar se tiče ukrepanja proti podnebnim spremembam.

Secondary title:	Foucault and the Environmental Issue
Secondary abstract:	This thesis is an attempt of application of what Foucault calls biopower to a contemporary socio-political state in which the climate problem is nestled. I understand the concept of biopower in its broadest sense as a network of relationships in which every individual is integrated. I see the application of biopower in contemporary democratic societies where power is mechanised and dispersed through production of knowledge. I agree with Foucault’s definition of biopower, but I find that it gives us a false sense of political involvement as political subjects, while it simultaneously deprives us of our ability to resist due to its decentralisation. In this network of relationships, I’ve tried to place the environmental problem. Climate science is losing its primary status that it holds as the truth teller, which relativizes other legitimate attempts to tackle climate crisis, in turn putting greater importance on personal responsibility. The devaluation of the scientific consensus and plurality of knowledge is in my opinion the main cause of socio-political stagnation when it comes to tackling climate change.
