- Title
La individualidad o la segmentación del cuerpo y de la sociedad.
- Authors
Baena, Diego León Espinosa; Moreno, Ana Paulina Pamplona
- Abstract
From the disciplinary society of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the early nineteenth century, illustrated by Michel Foucault in some of his works, the body is taken as object and target for different powers and knowledge seekers manage to take control of each of its parts. Segmentation is the practice of identifying, through the various devices that can take a thorough search of all his functions, and is visible from the same spatial representation, which shows a strict order, which allows the introduction of operative relationships and affects the introjection of thoughts. The segmented body is immersed in a society divided equally. Individuality is erected, then, parallel to the disciplinary society and responds to a need for a political anatomy that reveals the logic of power. Thinking about individuality can now confront and challenge the concept that the ideal is compromised from its very root.
