Abstract

This article addresses the philosophies of Deleuze and Foucault and highlights the importance of bringing them together to reflect on contemporary tensions defined by the complex relationships between technologies and their power over life. We
especially point out the concept of event as a guide to assess some of the central aspects of techno-scientific procedure´s force lines and the ways of existence facing of the contradictions presented by the celebration of individual freedom and the continuous siege of souls, the production of subjectivities and the somatic conditioning to control modulations. Since ethics, in its humanistic sense, has lost its ability to guide individuals in our society who face current dilemmas, we propose, through the Deleuze-Foucault articulation, that the understanding of life necessarily passes through the dynamics of a new ontology that allows understanding in a different way. differently the relation between the particularity of the living beings and the order of Nature in a different way.

Keywords: Event; ethic; life; machine.
