Abstract: | Este artículo analiza la interacción entre biopolítica y reproducción. El texto examina
el pensamiento de Angela Putino para mostrar cómo la reproducción, a través del
dispositivo sexual y el conocimiento/poder médico, se ha convertido en un escenario de
aplicación de técnicas biopolíticas. Sin embargo, de manera simultánea, Putino expone
algunos de los riesgos de complicidad en el feminismo que pueden reproducir una
dimension biológica en las políticas, sin lograr resistir el biopoder. Para encontrar los
rastros de esta resistencia, el texto hace referencia al trabajo de Donna Haraway, que critica
la distinción entre naturaleza y cultura, y al trabajo de Melinda Cooper y Catherine
Walby, quienes analizan el trabajo clínico en el marco del biocapitalismo. The article analyses the interplay between biopolitics and reproduction. The text examines Angela Putino’s thought to show how reproduction, through the sexuality device and medical power/knowledge, becomes the site of application of biopolitical techniques. At the same time, however, Putino shows some risks of complicity in feminism that can reproduce a biological dimension in politics without being able to withstand biopower. To find trails of resistance, then, the text refers to the work of Donna Haraway, that criticise the distinction between nature and culture, and to those of Melinda Cooper and Catherine Walby, who analyse the clinical labor in the framework of biocapitalism. |
