Summary: The archeology and genealogy are analytical tools that Foucault uses, simultaneously, both on the issue of knowledge as power. Therefore, we affirm that these instruments do not separate into distinct periods, which is not to deny periodizations but deny mutilations in Foucault's work. We argue that occurs, from the reflections of The Archaeology of Knowledge, an expansion in the philosopher's analysis field, directing both archeology as genealogy, issues involving relations of power, which enables us to argue toward an archeology disciplinary power device from a genealogy of power. This analysis starts from the questioning of the current condition of the subject, Foucault diagnosed as governed by power relations that submit the body to a normative discourse, tending be an individual that matches a model, which is called docile bodies. They are the product of an embodiment of power, discipline, which makes use of several mechanisms that operate interconnected, forming a power device. Archaeology shows, when applied to a discursive formation, the relationship between the various elements that make up a speech. The relationship between the speech elements that determine a discursive regularity Foucault calls episteme, which is a strictly discursive device. Archaeology is the instrument applied in the analysis devices and, in Discipline and Punish, the philosopher directs archeology and genealogy to the axis of power, we will have an archeology of disciplinary power from elements found in a genealogy of power. The mechanisms of power found through genealogy and archeology organized by composing the disciplinary power of the device are: the art of distributions, control activities, the hierarchical surveillance, normalizing sanction and examination.
