Resumo

El concepto de ciudadanía es seguramente, uno de los más estudiados en la historia desde una perspectiva social: desde Aristóteles y la polis griega hasta la ciudad liberal del siglo XX. En esta sentido, posteriormente han emergido una serie de estudios como los de Nikolas Rose o Kezia Barker donde el énfasis es puesto en la biociencia y la biotecnología para entender al ciudadano y donde el apego a un territorio ya no es una característica importante para la ciudadanía. En este trabajo, nos adherimos a esta línea y presentaremos el concepto de ciudadanía biovigilante para enmarcar una serie de políticas, acciones y acontecimientos que rodean a la ciudad actual en un campo donde los estudios sociales no han llegado con intensidad: la biovigilancia y las prácticas de bioseguridad en nuestra vida cotidiana. Mediante un estudio de caso de material documental sobre biovigilancia, presentaremos la novedad de nuestro trabajo frente a otras propuestas como las ya mencionadas utilizando de soporte teórico el concepto de paraskeue (equipamiento) de Michel Foucault. Finalmente, discutiremos acerca de las implicaciones biopolíticas de este nuevo tipo de ciudadanía y resaltaremos la importancia del concepto de escenario en las políticas de biovigilancia.

Francisco Tirado, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona

I am a senior lecturer in Social Psychology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Throughout my academic career I have been working on topics such as: cyborgs, new ways to rethink social order, actor-network theory, biopolitics, sociotechnical relations, the relation between the idea of event and objects and so on. In my work I am especially happy with: a) The remake of Serres notion “extitution” that I made in my Ph.D. thesis. I found this word in his book Atlas. It appeared in a sentence describing our near future, but without content or definition (Serres way of writing), and when I read it, I thought: “with suitable watering, this concept will grow strong and in all directions”; b) The notion of cinepolitics (kinepolitics) that I have used in several papers to describe a new governmentality practice focussed on the control and administration of our daily movement. I have put forward that cinepolitics is an interesting tool to expand the limits of biopolitics. Speaking in Deleuze jargon, I have to confess that my intercessors (those authors helping you to think) are people like Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Bruno Latour, Michel Serres or Giorgio Agamben. But I like so much classical social and philosophical writers such as Gabriel Tarde, A.N.Whitehead, G.H.Mead, F. Nietzsche or H. Bergson. Currently I am working on topics related with medicine. I am analysing epidemics as a sociotechnical object, I am conceptualizing cancer with concepts from Whitehead’s thought, specifically using the notions of prehension and potencial object, and I am describing the materiality of hope in a cancer patients association.
