VASCONCELOS, Michele de Freitas Faria de. Beware of (and Care for) Bodies: a Look (of Gender) for Health Policies. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.2, pp.371-388. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-026X2015v23n2p371.

The text aims to think the (mental) public health policies and its institutional mandate of social inclusion as part of a wider picture of the (neo) liberal biopolitics face, where life and human behavior are directed towards the market. In this context, those that have failed or have not engaged in making their bodies listed companies, appear as new patients, abnormal or infamous. The scope of care practices offered by health policies tends, in this way, to inscribe such infamous lives in pedagogies, particularly of gender and sexuality, including them in the social market economy. Looking for extensions of the body and life, this work developed a look (of gender) on modes of production of health care, particularly in alcohol and other drugs

Palabras clave : Biopolitics; Public Health Policies; Social Inclusion; Body; Gender.
