摘要
In the presented paper,the author starts with diagnosing the state of research on populism and biopolitics simultaneously.The author states that most often in the literature the topic of populism(Laclau,Mouffe,Mudde,and Panizza)is considered separately from the problems related to biopolitics(Foucault,Negri,Agamben,and Esposito).The author would like to change this separation by bringing these two discourses closer together.The author’s main aim is to rethink populism from a biopolitical perspective,i.e.,to implement national politics over the population.Furthermore,the author reconstructs the logic of such biopolitical populism with the example of Poland,and as a consequence,the program of the“Law and Justice Party(PiS)”,which,after coming to power in 2015,introduced a new policy of“legal populism”,closely related to the conservative“procreative policy”(prohibition of abortion),and the family-oriented economy(financial supplement for each family for the second child,the so-called“500 plus”program).
