Abstract

This investigation focuses on acquiring a historical look at the conditions and possibilitiesof the statements of public health in Bogotá from 2004 to 2012 on the frame ofpromotion and prevention. Therefore, a deep searching was held in each of the spacesand moments that resulted on the regimen of truth. This, with the purpose of recognizingthe historicity and the relations that interlace and forge the statements; and topoint the discursive inflection to comprehend from these, the sinuous elements on thehistorical becoming. Namely, a critical ontology of the present, from archeology andgenealogy, as comprehension and analysis of discourses that have configured subjectfrom the knowledge established as truth and the relations of power. This allowsus to answer the questions and postulates of this research. The results showed thatpublic 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 subjectsbecause it determines subject behaviors and involves different life scenarios. Forthis reason, health poses as a body-regulatory device that aims to organize life andestablishes a behavior system for a universalization objective oriented to productivity.
