The purpose of this study is to examine the body as the field where resistance to the powers over the subject‟s life manifests, in modern western society. The body, a privileged locus, is where power methods and knowledge production fall upon. Due to this, it finds its way into psychoanalytic practice through participation in symptomatic formations, or, even, through manifestations of subjective non-pathological formations. Based upon an issue of a specific therapeutic failure, arisen in psychoanalytic practice, we introduce the hypothesis that organic disease could possibly mean resistance against the other who have subjugated the subject, and which is built upon the absence of other subjective forms of rebellion. The topic of this paper will be developed presenting a clinical case synopsis as basis. In joining the development of the resistance concept, along with the place and possibilities of the body within the psychoanalytic field, to the philosophical thinking inspired by Foucault, our intention is to highlight the ethical and political dimension of psychoanalytic practice
