description | From the case of the anti-vaccine groups, in this article we review what we believe is a weakness of Foucault’s concept of biopolitics: which is the inability to propose analytical elements to explain the practices of resistance towards health policies promoted by the state. To address this analysis, we consider the ideas proposed in the post-Foucauldian concept of biological citizenship from where they are analyzed communications legal articulations of citizen groups organized to achieve specific strategic goals for their health conditions are analyzed from the perspective of this concept. We conclude that although resistance to state health initiatives can be analyzed as a daily practice, we argue that not everyone can exercise this freedom on their bodies, being reserved for small groups of the population. |

La ciudadanía biológica como dispositivo de control y forma de resistencia frente a las políticas en salud Moya, Mario Ociel Cea-Nettig, Ximena González, Ingrid biopolitics biocitizenship resistance public health biopolítica biociudadanía resistencia salud pública From the case of the anti-vaccine groups, in this article we review what we believe is a weakness of Foucault’s concept of biopolitics: which is the inability to propose analytical elements to explain the practices of resistance towards health policies promoted by the state.

A partir del caso de los grupos antivacuna, en este artículo revisamos lo que a nuestro juicio es una debilidad en las interpretaciones del concepto foucaultiano de biopolítica: la incapacidad de proponer elementos analíticos para explicar las prácticas de resistencia ante las políticas de salud promovidas por el Estado. Para abordar este análisis, consideramos las ideas contenidas en el concepto posfoulcaultiano de ciudadanía biológica, concepto desde el cual se analizan las articulaciones y comunicaciones legales de los grupos ciudadanos que se organizan para alcanzar objetivos estratégicos específicos respecto de sus estados de salud. Concluimos que, si bien la resistencia frente a las iniciativas estatales en salud puede ser analizada como una práctica cotidiana, sostenemos que no todos pueden ejercer esta ciudadanía, quedando reservada para pequeños grupos de la población. 2019-08-16 2022-03-22T15:04:06Z 2022-03-22T15:04:06Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/895 10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2019-0014 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80146 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/895/3208 Derechos de autor 2019 Estudios Atacameños.
