Özet

The aim of this study is to put forward a critical analysis about the working of neo-liberal power in which we live with a specific reference to Byung Chul-Han. He claims that Foucault's consideration of bio-politics as a power which focuses on body falls behind to explain the relations of power in the contemporary neo-liberal order and the structure of individual and society. In order to overcome this shortcoming, Chul-Han claims that the power of neo-liberal order is a pschyo-politics which establishes its sovereignty by apply-ing pschyo-politic tools such as Big Data and therefore by influencing the hu-man soul. In this study, it is claimed that bio-politics hasn't gone out of the in-terest of power completely regarding the power practices during the process of Covid-19 pandemic which has continued over two years and that we don't wit-ness a power model in which only pschyo-politics works. In this regard, it is concluded that in the period in which we live, the power has a working which infleunces not only to the body but also to the soul and therefore which we can conceptualize as pschyo-somatics instead of the view of Foucault's bio-politics as Chul-Han understands or Chul-Han's psycho-politics.
