Abstract

In May of 2011 and for only three days the government of Chile eliminated the use of chemicals to suppress protests because of its possible abortifacient effects. From this "political moment" -questioned official policy- this essay is an analysis of modes of enunciation fetus representing communication in politics, a figure that revealed strength as related to life meaning. The discussion of the fetus from the communication -past visions in favor against abortion- reveals the importance of technical and scientific discourse to the current policy and technologized and visual fragmentation of the body, reconfiguration of the ways to understand the body in the mediated context.
