Abstract
Este trabajo considera esquemáticamente el ejercicio del biopoder en la
regulación de la comida y la bebida, examinando la espacialidad del biopoder y
de la biopolítica a partir de sus manifestaciones en las sucesivas regulaciones de
dos tipos de bebida clave: las bebidas alcohólicas y la leche líquida. En la práctica,
el trabajo analiza las leyes de la abstinencia del siglo XIX y la pasteurización
obligatoria de la leche en los Estados Unidos durante el siglo XX, haciendo
hincapié en las estrategias espaciales por las que el biopoder extendió su dominio
del tracto intestinal a diferentes terrenos políticos. El artículo sugiere que la
resistencia biopolítica desarrolla a su vez estrategias espaciales
ABSTRACT This paper schematically considers the exercise of biopower in the regulation of food and drink, tracing the spatiality of biopower and biopolitics as they play out in the trajectory of regulation of two key types of beverage: alcoholic beverages and fluid milk. Empirically, the paper considers 19th century temperance laws and 20th century mandatory milk pasteurization in the United States, highlighting the spatial strategies by which biopower’s reach into digestive tracts was extended across political territories. The account suggest that biopolitical resistance enacts spatial strategies as well.
