Abstract: The connection between biopolitics and German literature provides a valuable perspective for understanding how literary works depict state authority, the regulation of human life, and control over the body. From Goethe’s Faust to 20th-century dystopian fiction and modern novels, German writers have frequently examined issues related to surveillance, state influence on biology, and the political significance of health and existence.

Keywords: biopolitics, dystopia, German fictions, surveillance, state intervention
