Resumen
SOLANO ROSS, Luiz Alexandre. Power and solidarity: Foucault and the Apostolic College. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2013, vol.63, n.175, pp.199-217. ISSN 0120-3649.
This paper aims at discussing the text of Mark 10,32-45 under the scope of the Biblical Theology andFoucault's analytical theory of power. The methodology of this study corresponds to a bibliographical order based on contributions from research on Mark, Mediterranean society in the first Century and Foucault's texts on power. Results show that while Jesus' disciples seek for power, Jesus proposes a counterargument in order to turn power into solidarity for the community. Jesus intervention brings a discourse about resignation to power and about service and solidarity. These two approaches towards power demonstrate how values that were quite rooted in an ambitious society could be challenged.
