| Omschrijving: | This paper provides a reflection that emerged in the context of the last electoral process carried out in Costa Rica, in February 2018. Specifically, it presents lines of analysis to address the way in which sexuality has become a privileged area of social life, when it comes to managing and controlling the bodies of individuals, as well as the behavior of the popula- tions they make up. To this end, the notions of body and sexuality are reviewed, along with their permeability to social practices and, therefore, their susceptibility to transformation, manipulation, management and direction, as they operate as axes of government. Then, it analyzes sexuality as a space of “governmentality”, in relation to localized or “micro” administrations, to arrive at its reflection in the electoral debates, focused unilaterally on issues related to sexuality, leaving aside other more decisive ones. |
