Abstract

This study arises from the questioning about the origin of the power relations exercised over the body in modernity, responsible for the very creation of the sexual body and its control. From such notions, the question arises about the connection of the said modern control to possible origins in antiquity, concerning the moral built on the body and sexual practices. To this end, the present study was carried out, in the light of the theory of the philosopher Michel Foucault, analyzing to what extent there is a continuity between antiquity and modernity with regard to the moral relative to sexual practices.  The general objective is to analyze the continuity of the moral construction between antiquity and modernity related to the body and the sexual practices developed from it. As a hypothesis, a moral discontinuity is maintained between such periods, considering the Christian pastoral as an event that revolutionized the configuration of power relations over the body.

Thiago Augusto Galeão, CENTRO UNIVERSITÁRIO DO PARÁ

Professor Universitário - Centro Universitário do Pará. Mestre em Direito, Políticas Públicas e Desenvolvimento Regional - CESUPA. Especializando em Direito Civil pela PUC MINAS.
O necropoder decide quem tem o direito de viver, porque tem valor de mercado, e quem se pode matar ou deixar morrer porque a vida não tem um valor em si mesma, mas só pode ser valorada dentro de um certo jogo de relações em que alguns não podem jogar porque são meros joguetes, simples instrumentos de interesses que muitas vezes nem conseguem compreender.
