Abstract
El tema del gobierno en las misiones jesuíticas del Paraguay, es analizado desde una
perspectiva foucaultiana, poniendo especial énfasis en el modo en que se produjo allí
una forma específica de articulación entre poder pastoral y biopolítica. En 1966,
Foucault decía que las misiones jesuíticas del Paraguay eran un ejemplo maravilloso
de heterotopía colonial. La vida disciplinada controlaba la reproducción biológica de
la población. A partir de los aportes de la historia de la gubernamentalidad, es posible
ver cómo el problema de la salud y del crecimiento de la población fue atendido por
los jesuitas a partir de sus técnicas de gobierno y los saberes médicos. La manera en
que el jesuitismo se apropió de la medicina muestra cómo el poder pastoral fue
transformándose desde la modernidad temprana hasta nuestro presente.

From the contributions of the history of governmentality, it is possible to see how the problem of health and population growth was attended by the Jesuits from their techniques of government and medical knowledge. The way Jesuitism appropriated medicine shows how the pastoral power was transformed from early modernism to the present.
