2. M. Foucault M. Foucault 1926 - 1984 Courses in Collège de France:  Security, Territory and Population (1977-1978)  The Birth of Biopolitics (1978-1979) Gubernamentality is “the assemblage formed by institutions, procedures, analysis, reflections, calculations and tactics that allow a specific and complex form of power that has by target the population” (FOUCAULT, 2006: 136). GOVERN as conduct others conduct.

3.  2 GREAT PHASES IN THE HISTORY OF GOVERNAMENTALITY: 2) Liberal Governamentality: puts the population domain under new concerns of the government that now needs to discover ways of administrating it respecting its natural and free functioning codes. It arises in 18th century. 1)State of Police : Based on the Reason of State, were defined by its strong necessity to register and correct the actions of the individuals. It arises in 16th and 17th centuries.

4. According Rose, history of psy knowledge is linked to the govern history in a double way: 1) considering the inscription techniques that allowed subjectivities to be caught by govern devices; 2) through the constitution of multiple politics that intend to conduct the individual conduct not only through discipline, but mainly by considering the free activities of the people that are governed.

5. Walden Two Walden Two 1948 In Walden II the governor figure would be suppressed and in its place planners and the managers would appear. The planners are responsible for watching and analyzing the community functioning and elect the managers according to its competences. The role of the manager is to care for some specific areas through the selective management of reinforcement: education, culture, work and so on. There is a duplication between the political sovereign plan and the governamentality psy (the other and self control).

6. Los Horcones Los Horcones 1973 3 great political phases:  Managers and Planners Sistem;  Democracy;  Personocracy. Present in the Northern part of Mexico, at Hermosillo, Los Horcones currently has eighteen residents (three of them invited). This community received visits and compliments from Skinner himself.

7. 1)In the beginning, in 1973, a govern system was proposed working with planners and managers. Each year the managers selected two members as planners applicants. In that way, every 18 months one of these applicants would substitute one of the planners. So there would always be a planner with government expertise. 2)In 1977, democracy was implemented, but the results were not those expected. The members concluded that: a) not always the majority make the right decision; b) the minority never agrees with the majority decisions, c) an agreement between the members is possible, if the individuals are educated to make decisions together, considering some values. 3)Personocracy, the current government form, is a kind of an opened government, where all members can participate, aiming to create new rules and codes of conduct to be experimented in the time that it would be necessary. Then the old planners and managers disappear; organizers and coordinators would then emerge and would become responsible for the management of specific areas.
