description Among the different technologies of neoliberal government emerging during the XX and XXI centuries, those that have attracted greater attention and reflection probably refer to those related to the processes of life, and the conception of it as a field for politics. This paper addresses the neoliberal governmental rationality involved in the development of the last major health reform in Chile: the Regime of Explicit Health Guarantees (GES), considering the implications of their epistemic aspects in understanding of corporeality. We consider as material for analysis several accounts of experts who have participated in the design of the regime, professionals involved in its implementation, legal and technical documents, and ethnographic observations. We analyse such information considering the notion of enactment proposed by Annemarie Mol. Results expose the processes of epistemic ordering, biopolitical acceleration, and biocitizenship prescription, linked to the enactment of the body as an assemblage of different spaces of government. We call such process as somatocracy, using the notion created by Michel Foucault. We conclude by integrating some components to think biocitizenship from emerging aspects in the work.

Entre las diversas tecnologías de gobierno de corte neoliberal emergentes durante los siglos XX y XXI, probablemente aquellas que han acaparado mayor atención y reflexión remiten a las relacionadas con los procesos de la vida y de la concepción de esta como un campo para lo político. Este trabajo aborda la racionalidad gubernamental implicada en el desarrollo de la última importante reforma en salud en Chile: el Régimen de Garantías Explícitas en Salud (GES), teniendo en cuenta las implicancias de sus aspectos epistémicos en la comprensión de la corporalidad. Consideramos como material de análisis diversos relatos de expertos que han participado en el diseño del régimen, profesionales que participan en su implementación, documentos legales y técnicos, y observaciones de carácter etnográfico. Analizamos tal información considerando la noción de enactment propuesta por Annemarie Mol. Los resultados dan cuenta de los procesos de ordenamiento epistémico, aceleración biopolítica y prescripción de biociudadanía, asociados al enactment del cuerpo como un ensamblaje de diversos espacios de gobierno. Denominamos tal proceso como somatocracia, empleando la noción acuñada por Michel Foucault. Concluimos integrando algunos componentes para pensar la biociudadanía a partir de aspectos emergentes en el trabajo. 2019-08-16 2022-03-22T15:04:05Z 2022-03-22T15:04:05Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/761 10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2019-0009 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80129 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/761/3201 Derechos de autor 2019 Estudios Atacameños.
