Abstract

The development of the modern economy in the shape of capitalism has been a universal system of allocation of rights, liberties and guarantees, but, in turn, has spread new technologies to save power and organize citizens in terms of population. From a “political technology of the body”, you can see a link between the power relations that are implemented once it starts a new way of governing a society. This article aims to analyze the political moment where emerges a new reason of governing and thus visualize how Biopolitics arises in the Chilean state as a disciplinary way to the citizen control and as this regards, affects and controls the body of the woman.
