Abstract
NOVOA TORRES, Edgar. THE NEW REALITIES OF THE BIOS / ZOE BODY, BETWEEN BIOETHICS AND BIOPOLITICS. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp.98-113. ISSN 1657-4702.
The article proposes the profound transformations of contemporary bios/zoé and the implications for bioethical and biopolitical debate, where the body gets special value. We are witnessing a profound ontological shift in our relationship with nature as well as in our own social relations by the increased and accelerated development of techno-science in the context of globalization, which is evident in the changes inside the laboratories and in the deployment of a new form of social production. The body becomes a focus of discussions, discourses, practices, strategies and mechanisms of biopower and bio-economy at the same time as afield demonstration of the most heart felt cries of socio-political alternatives.
Keywords : Body; bios/zoé; globalization; bioethics; biopolitics.
