VELASCO CANAS, Diego Fernando; CONTRERAS LANDGRAVE, Georgina e IBARRA ESPINOZA, Manuel Leonardo. Biopolitics and medicalization: an analysis of the Covid-19 pandemic from Michel Foucault. Andamios [online]. 2023, vol.20, n.52, pp.411-429. Epub 17-Nov-2023. ISSN 2594-1917. https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v20i52.1022.
This text constitutes a reflection from Michel Foucault’s notion of biopolitics, beginning from the genealogical writings of the author in which he raises the development of social medicine and society’s medicalization processes to make a contrast with the social and political situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide. The aim of the writing is to propose a critical look at the biopower exercise which is justified from fear and what it causes as a social teaching.
