Reflexiones en torno a la crítica foucaultiana del liberalismo en tanto marco de la racionalidad de la biopolítica
The aim of this work is to analyze Foucault´s critique about liberal governmentality as a framework of rationality of biopolitics. In particular, we will place the focus of our reading on the problematization that Foucault deploys regarding the formation of political economy as a strategic knowledge (savoir) of liberal rationality. Because of that, in the first section, we will analyze the grid of governmentality as a tool that allows Foucault to elaborate an archeo-genealogy of forms of objectification. Then, we will direct the reading towards the archeo-genealogy of the forms of objectification immanent to the constitution of the discourse of political economy as a strategic knowledge (savoir) of liberal governmentality
El dispositivo biopolítico de biomejoramiento humano del siglo XXI
This reflection proposes that Human Enhancement Technologies (MTh), in the 21st century, stand as a biopolitical device of molecular power over the life of the individual and of the human species, which is structured by both Infogeneration and Infogeneration mechanisms, as lines of visibility, enunciation, strength, objectivation and subjectivation. This incipient biopolitics of molecular power, whose intervention target is the intimacy of vitality and the purpose of artificially producing life, generates at least three effects: on subjectivity, the body and health, thus raising important questions for bioethics and biolaw. At first, we outline the characteristic notes of the Biopolitical Device for Human Enhancement (DBMh). Then, we address the way in which the DBMh builds unprecedented forms of subjectivity, while establishing new and different conceptions of the human body and health. In the final part, a stratigraphic model is outlined to read phenomena associated with MTh in which bioethics, biopolitics and biolaw are articulated in a variable geometry model.
