Discursos alrededor del cuerpo, la máquina, la energía y la fatiga: hibridaciones culturales en la Argentina fin-de-siècle

Abstract

This work investigates some discourses that emerged about the body, the 'human motor', energy and fatigue in Argentina between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Based on this inquiry an attempt is made to show how the hybrid nature of these scientifically purified formulations participated in the construction of biopolitical knowledge (organic economy) that projected the body in relation to production (capitalism) and the nation (state). Similarly, it analyzes the discourses on fatigue and training in an attempt to pinpoint limitations of areas of knowledge based on a Cartesian split.
