Keywords:
Body, law, woman, regulation, sexuality, Cuerpo, derecho, mujer, regulación, sexualidadAbstract
The rationalism of the seventeenth century inaugurated a new way of thinking to establish that access to the world occurred through rationality. The individualist conception of society that emerged from the eighteenth century, despite having placed the subject in the center, made it from its psychic dimension, relegating the biological body to the second place. In the twentieth century however, Freud recalls the theme of the body to enter again the individual in his materialistic body. Therefore, it was restored and deepened the theme of meat, carcass, organic and biological body. Thus, the present study aims, from the hypothetical-deductive method, to analyze the (im)possibility of body regulation, especially the female one, by the contemporary law, and its practical implications for women to, in the end, conclude that the body and their narratives are at the root of inequality and gender oppression.
El racionalismo del siglo XVII inauguró un nuevo pensamiento que establecía que el acceso al mundo ocurría a través de la racionalidad. La concepción individualista de la sociedad que emergió del siglo XVIII, pese a haber colocado al sujeto en el centro, lo había hecho desde su dimensión psíquica, relegando el cuerpo biológico a un segundo plano. En el siglo XX, en cambio, Freud recupera el tema del cuerpo y resitúa al individuo en su cuerpo material. Por tanto, los temas de la carne, carcasa, y cuerpo orgánico y biológico se restauran y se profundiza en ellos. Así pues, este artículo pretende analizar, a través del método hipotético-deductivo, la (im)posibilidad de regular el cuerpo, especialmente el femenino, por el derecho contemporáneo, y las implicaciones prácticas para las mujeres. Finalmente, concluimos que el cuerpo y sus narrativas están en la raíz de la desigualdad y de la opresión de género.
