This investigation focuses on acquiring a historical look at the conditions and possibilities of the statements of public health in Bogotá from 2004 to 2012 on the frame of promotion and prevention. Therefore, a deep searching was held in each of the spaces and moments that resulted on the regimen of truth. This, with the purpose of recognizing the historicity and the relations that interlace and forge the statements; and to point the discursive inflection to comprehend from these, the sinuous elements on the historical becoming. Namely, a critical ontology of the present, from archeology and genealogy, as comprehension and analysis of discourses that have configured subject from the knowledge established as truth and the relations of power. This allows us to answer the questions and postulates of this research. The results showed that public health is a regulatory discourse of life that is established as a true knowledge, under the regimen of governmentality, which constitutes a power device upon subjects because it determines subject behaviors and involves different life scenarios. For this reason, health poses as a body-regulatory device that aims to organize life and establishes a behavior system for a universalization objective oriented to productivity.
