Subjectivity and body in relation with digital technologies in the pandemic and pospandemic

Abstract

The framework of the pandemic and post-pandemic, the use of digital technologies, and the effect they produce on the construction of subjectivity is one of the themes that as mental health professionals and teachers summon us by virtue of being able to account for the ways of being and thinking about the world and the body. From the modern era to the present, the approach to these issues has been in solidarity with scientific, social, political and contextual advances, with the implications that it brings. This work will develop a journey through different historical moments and contexts, in order to locate epochal coordinates that make it possible to think about them. The starting point will be Descartes (17th century), who conceptualized the body from a mechanical logic, up to the 21st century with the development of the human genome and a biotechnological logic in order to address the consequences regarding changes,times, the limits and possibilities that impact subjectivities and ways of inhabiting the world. Finally, some questions and challenges that we face in our educational practice will be raised. This work is an invitation to delve into this process.
