What is life? Ethical and biopolicy considerations in the light of cinema

Abstract

For a better understanding of what life is, one can rescue Saint Augustine's notes for the time and still, with an opportunity in the arguments of the Bishop of Hippo, if this question really makes sense, once if we want to explain, I already demonstrate the lack of knowledge. Or, if there is really a need to reflect in ethical terms. This brief communication will start from the assumption that the question What is life? It is extremely problematic from an ethical point of view. As a starting point, the Aristotelian conjectures about the concept of life and the Foucauldian analysis of power relations in Western societies in the light of cinema will be approached. Will still be concepts such as biopower, biopolitics and (bio)ethics are presented.
