This article, by reseaching what “bio-politics” is and by discussing its position in political area over the effects of bio-political practices on “life and death”, tries to provide to establish ideational transmissions among different intellectual frameworks instead of approaching in a consuming attitude towards the concept often mentioned recently and to eliminate its ambiguity. For this purpose, this article scrutinizes “bio-politics” with its comprehensive structure articulated to highly-charged current issues by concentrating on two central names who light the fuse of this dynamism: Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben. In this context, it is valid to analyse the bio-political adventure of Foucault by using especially “power” and “governmentality” and of Agamben by focusing “bare life” and “state of exception”. Within this framework, it compares these philosophers through the transformation of “right over life and death”. In this regard, the principal purpose of this article is to try to position “bio-politics” in political area by analysing different thinking efforts around it and examining the changing borders between “life and death”.
