Document Summary
It is different from strength, force and violence. It"s the property of plurality of actors joining together from some common political purpose. It is not a natural phenomenon but a human creation, the outcome of collective engagement. It is based not on coercion but on consent and rational persuasion. Power and violence are opposites; where the one riles absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power"s disappearance . Power is not a commodity or a possession; rather it functions in the form of a chain . Power relations are not completely successful, as not achieving the goal of total domination: where there is power, there is resistance . Rediscovery of the body body as a object of salvation . Beauty as a form of capital beauty as an absolute and religious imperative not an effect of nature or a supplement to moral qualities.
