In opposition to contractualism, Foucault founded a new research agenda distancing himself from the repressive hypothesis and characterizing sexuality as an artificial unit of relatively recent historical character. The author provided examples of the historical emergence of sexuality that coincided chronologically with the rise of capitalism. Meanwhile, he also proposed to disassociate sexuality and capitalism turning to binary approaches that opposed West and East, or identifying pre-Capitalist Christian confession as an early stage in the genealogy of sexuality. An ambivalence in the use of the category of capitalism is present throughout the text: sometimes the term surfaces explicitly while it is denied in other paragraphs. Since the History of Sexuality became a founding text for a discipline bearing the same name, the original ambivalence towards Marxism and the concept of capitalism was amplified in later studies during the last four decades. Este artículo realiza un analisis del concepto de “capitalismo” en la Historia de la Sexualidad de Michel Foucault publicada en 1976 detallando el debate teórico con el marxismo y el neoliberalismo. En oposición a las nociones contractualistas, Foucault fundó una nueva agenda de investigación que distanciandose de la hipótesis represiva caracterizaba a la sexualidad como unidad artificial de caracter histórico relativamente reciente. El autor proveía ejemplos históricos de la emergencia de la sexualidad que coincidían cronológicamente con el surgimiento del capitalismo. Al mismo tiempo, proponía desvincular la relación entre sexualidad y capitalismo recurriendo a concepciones binarias que oponían oriente y occidente, o señalando a la confesión cristiana como factor precapitalista en la genealogía de la sexualidad. Puede observarse una ambivalencia respecto del uso mismo de la categoría de capitalismo, que en algunos casos está referida de manera más o menos explícita, y en otros casos está negada. Dado que la Historia de la Sexualidad se convirtió en un texto fundante para el conjunto de la disciplina, la ambivalencia inicial frente al marxismo y a la noción de capitalismo se amplificó en otros estudios realizados durante las últimas cuatro décadas. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/mora/article/view/8492 10.34096/mora.n25.8492 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/mora/article/view/8492/7425 Mora; Núm. 25 (2019); 63-84 1853-001X 0328-8773 Foucault, capitalismo y sexualidad: tensiones conceptuales circa 1976 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=mora&d=8492_oai
