Bioethics and Biopower: Perspectives for a Pedagogical Praxis from the Ethics of Álvaro Márquez-Fernández

Abstract

This research relates bioethics and biopower from the pedagogical-dialogic ethics of Professor Álvaro Márquez-Fernández. It is tested in this sense, based on phenomenological hermeneutics, the conception of biopower as a domain of corporality, connecting it with Marquesian ideas about the hegemonic control of power. It is concluded that the central issue of the problem posed is the use of a domain pedagogy aimed at controlling the devices created to ensure the perpetuation of hegemonic power. Consequently, the idea of a monovalent democracy is questioned, which contradicts the very concept of ethical, pluralistic and utopian democracy of Márquez-Fernández, an issue considered in his own pedagogical ethics. ; Utopía y Praxis Latinoamericana publica bajo licencia Creative Commons Atribución-No Comercial-Compartir Igual 4.0 Internacional (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).
