MICHEL FOUCAULT, info.

Hi there!

My name's Tomás and I'm a Spanish PhD student in Social Psychology  
working on the mixture of foucauldian-inspired ideas (anatomo- and bio- 
politics, governmentality and techniques of the self) and STS (Science- 
Technology and Society). I'm currently working on an ethnographical  
research project concerning telecare for the elders, but at this very  
moment I'm about to ask for funding for a small project with some  
colleagues in Brasil and Spain on the development on "social sciences'  
genealogy, governmentality and citizen-making in Europe and Latin  
America"

I've read Nikolas Rose, Robert Castel, Jacques Donzelot, Roberto  
Esposito, Giorgio Agamben, and some studies concerning contemporary  
Spain, but I'm not very familiar with literature on "governmentality"  
and "biopolitics" in Latin America. I have the intuition that they  
might highlight the colonial past, a meagre substratum of "welfare  
state" institutions and the contemporary neoliberal approaches to  
social protection, but that is not very specific genealogically  
speaking…

That’s why I would like to ask you if you would be so kind of  
recommending me some interesting literature on biopolitics in Latin  
American countries (plus Spain and Portugal), which could set me on  
track

Thanks indeed in advance and keep the discussions alive! I certainly  
enjoy all of them

Best,
