Inextricably linked to the critical proposal study of power and its exercise developed by Michel Foucault is the notion of Biopolitics which have been revisited by Giorgio Agamben who has given a different interpretation in an attemt to "correct" it. In what follows a run through the notion of Foucault's biopolitics is made, as well as Agamben's claims about Biopolitics, in particular in the introduction of his book Homo Sacer I. In addition the difficult of such task shown here is due to the huge differences of both thinkers, thus Agamben's supposed "correction", it's only a commentary.
