No. of bitstreams: 1 Monteiro_MarkoSynesioAlves_D.pdf: 14010644 bytes, checksum: 84f93a9c31977e89c8b6246cdca253a9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005 / Resumo: A tese tem por objetivo debater as mudanças atualmente em curso nas concepções modernas do corpo, a partir do impacto das novas tecnologias associadas à genética. Tais concepções, calcadas fortemente na dualidade cartesiana, estariam sendo modificadas pela possibilidade, cada vez mais real, de manipulação da natureza em seu nível molecular. As conseqüências teóricas de transformar o corpo, junto com a própria prática científica, em objetos de analise social, são debatidos. Um estudo de caso, a partir de pesquisa de campo feita em laboratórios de bioinformática na Universidade de São Paulo e no Instituto Ludwig de Pesquisa com Câncer/Hospital do Câncer, fundamenta empiricamente a discussão. Os microarrays, utilizados em pesquisas que buscam estabelecer biomarcadores para câncer de próstata, são analisados como objetos que encarnam as novas visões do corpo, num contexto marcado pelo avanço da biotecnologia. A tese debate também alguns aspectos políticos que se mostram relevantes na compreensão desse avanço tecnológico, como os temores de um ressurgimento da eugenia. Ao final, debatem-se alternativas analíticas e políticas para a compreensão do novo esatuto do corpo e da matéria viva, a partir de pistas dadas por artistas, engajados com a expressão artística através do corpo e da tecnologia, e através de teóricos que buscam repensar as bases nas quais assenta-se a biologia e a pesquisa científica contemporâneas / Abstract: This thesis analyzes transformations in contemporary conceptions of the body under the light of changes brought on by new technologies associated with genetics. These conceptions, strongly marked by a cartesian opposition between mind/matter, are being shifted in the context of the growing possibilities of the manipulation nature in its molecular leveI through technology. The theoretical consequences of tuming the body, as well as the scientific practice of manipulating it, as an object for the Social Sciences, are also debated. A case study, originated ITom field research with done in bioinformatics laboratories at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) and the Ludwig Center for Cancer Research/Cancer Hospital, provides the empirical basis of the argument. Microarrays, used in the research being developed in the laboratories cited above in research towards the development of molecular markers for prostate cancer, are analyzed as objects that embody the new conceptions of the body that arise in a context of rapid advance in biotechnology. The thesis debates also some political aspects that are relevant for a deeper understanding of these technological developments, such as the fears surrounding a retum of eugenic practices. ln the conclusion some analytical and political altematives are discussed, as a means of pursuing a richer criticism of the new statute of the body and of living matter, using the example of artists that use the body and technology as medium of artistic expression; also through a debate of theorists that are busy rethinking the bases of contemporary biology and of current scientific practices / Doutorado / Doutor em Ciências Sociais
