description The following essay pretends to reflect on euthanasia as a space of resistance and symbolism facing the contemporary society that dehumanizes death and deviates it from the shared social space. The most representative authors of modern biolpolitics are used: Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Maurizio Lazzarato and Antonio Negri. One of the main conclusions achieved is that euthanasia, beyond legal or moral discussions, constitutes a biopolitical exercise in the sense that that it operates as a paradox of the immune paradigm, which precisely enthrones asepsis and artificial prolongation of life, while its constitutes, at the same time, an ontological possibility of resignification and autonomy of human liberty itself.

The most representative authors of modern biolpolitics are used: Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Maurizio Lazzarato and Antonio Negri. One of the main conclusions achieved is that euthanasia, beyond legal or moral discussions, constitutes a biopolitical exercise in the sense that that it operates as a paradox of the immune paradigm, which precisely enthrones asepsis and artificial prolongation of life, while its constitutes, at the same time, an ontological possibility of resignification and autonomy of human liberty itself.    El presente ensayo busca reflexionar en torno a la eutanasia como un espacio de resistencia y simbolización frente a la sociedad contemporánea que deshumaniza la muerte y la desvía del espacio social compartido a partir de la utilización de los autores más representativos de la biopolítica moderna como Michael Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Maurizio Lazzarato y Antonio Negri.  Una de las conclusiones a las cuales se lograr llegar es que la eutanasia, más allá de las discusiones legales o morales, constituye un ejercicio biopolítico en el entendido  que opera como una aporía del paradigma inmunitario que entroniza, precisamente, la asepsia y la prolongación técnica de la vida, al mismo tiempo que constituye una posibilidad ontopolítica de resignificación y autonomía de la propia libertad humana. 2012-01-16 2022-03-22T14:40:00Z 2022-03-22T14:40:00Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://sye.uchile.cl/index.php/RSE/article/view/18086 10.5354/rse.v0i3.18086 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/78828 spa https://sye.uchile.cl/index.php/RSE/article/view/18086/18870 https://sye.uchile.cl/index.php/RSE/article/view/18086/19202 html application/pdf Universidad de Chile.
