Although contexts and biotechnologies have changed in recent decades, the mechanisms and objectives of biopolitics remain similar; for example, discarding, marginalization, and exclusion continue to be present as forms of social death. The texts collected in this book address strategies for confronting policies of intervention on bodies, overcoming necropolitics, and fighting for life. Its approach to biopolitics from a historical perspective allows us to contextualize the needs of the present and discover the continuities in social practices characterized by the imposition of norms, regulations, and controls. Its interdisciplinary contributions illustrate the importance of collective production of meaning and horizontal dialogue: a scientific approach that engages in dialogue with other forms of knowledge, renounces epistemological hierarchies, and commits to activism.
