RAGO, Margareth. The panther marks, 25 years later... Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.2, pp.319-334.  Epub June 05, 2020. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n2-2020-3.

25 years after the publication of the article "The Panther Marks: Michel Foucault in the Brazilian Historiography", Foucault keeps surprising us with his daring reflections. Recently published, the book The confessions of the flesh completes his genealogy of the modern man, pointing out the dimensions deeply rooted in our psyche. His archeo-genealogical history about the real regimes that run our lives is extended while reaching the early years of Christianism and revealing the debt it maintains with Stoicism. In his courses, Foucault brings forceful reflections about the migration of confession and pastoral power outside the church walls and its incorporation into the modern State, until nowadays, marked by the neoliberalism. How the notion of one's self and self-government problematizes new technologies of power while the "counter-conducts" remit to how freedom practices are experienced in the face of Christian or neoliberal governmentality.

Keywords : Foucault; Governmentality; Counter-conducts.
