The body as ambiguous spatiality: Michel Foucault, politics and resistances of the bodies

Body, from the Foucault's perspective, is a supporting point of the power techniques in order to configure the subjects. That's the reason why it has a complex statute: It is both the means and the effect of power. In a certain way, body allows the advance of power, but at the same time it gets caught in a given space of intelligibility, and invested with some kind of "interiority" which spatializes it, and makes it object of the gaze. In this way, the supporting point becomes effect, but remains supporting point. The effect is thus the way the supporting point gets invested by the power moves.
