Abstract: The current pandemic situation has drawn global attention to the control exercised by states over the populations they govern. Social "spaces" have become visible which, given the current health scenario, demand to be monitored and regulated by means of both coercive and symbolic action deployed by states over the territories. A debate is thus taking place on the nature of politics today, as well as the role of the state in the exercise of governability; on the other hand, the individual and the social, which ends up being the object of such regulation and institutional intervention. Thus, all power ends up generating in its development a counter-power or resistance, which currently takes the form of the multitude: plural, diverse and spontaneous; carrying out a permanent reconstruction of civil society in the face of the control and surveillance deployed by state institutions through strategies based on micro-power, where the law is presented as one of its main tools both within and beyond national borders.
