This chapter examines the “denudation of the subject” within contemporary social policy, analyzing how visibility transforms from a democratic right into a biopolitical imperative. The analysis proceeds through three interconnected sections exploring how subjects must expose their vulnerability as the price for accessing care. The first section reveals how visibility becomes a condition of inclusion, introducing the concept of “recorded existence” to describe subjects who acquire social substance only through continuous institutional accessibility, comprehensibility, and measurability. The second section analyzes the “criminalization of need,” demonstrating how social rights become subject to judicial-type evidence and documentation procedures that transform need from lived experience into suspect administrative categories. The third section develops the concept of “social self-annihilation,” examining how subjects must voluntarily surrender autonomy, privacy, and identity to access care through temporal, spatial, and subjective dimensions of self-erasure. Drawing on Foucauldian biopolitics and critical theory, the chapter demonstrates how contemporary social policy creates a paradox where recognition of need operates through the systematic deconstruction of subjectivity, transforming care into a technology of governance that demands complete transparency as the price of social protection.
