Resumen

JIMENO, Myriam. Personal and Political Body, Violence, Culture and Neoliberal Citizenship. univ.humanist. [online]. 2007, n.63, pp.15-34. ISSN 0120-4807.

This article asks questions about the relationship between private experiences and the behavior in public life. The conceptual point of origin is the possible proximity between the personal and political body. Particularly, the question is asked in which way the actions of citizens that have experienced violence are affected. As Frederico Neiburg proposes, normative visions disqualify the combination of politics and personal conflicts, treating them as survival of a premodern past and describing them as a spectacle. Good politics is imagined "as the dominion of rational and abstract men and women, free of personal connections." Exactly in the exacerbation of the neoliberal model of the isolated, rational individual it is more difficult to appreciate how certain experiences of constructing meaning in private life are projected onto public life. That is why this text is oriented at discussing some commonplaces with which we associate violent action, because they allow us to go beyond, whenever possible, a narrow conception of individualist, economicist or minimalist citizenship.

Palabras clave : citizenship; domestic violence; public action.
