Jorge Castillo-Sepúlveda
Doctor in Social Psychology and Master in Research in Social Psychology by Autonomous University of Barcelona. Psychologist, Diploma in Clinical Psychology and Licenciature in Psychology at University of Santiago de Chile.
I was trained as postgraduate researcher in the Department of Social Psychology of Autonomous University of Barcelona inside the Group for the Social Studies of Science and Technology (GESCIT), at the present Science and Technology Studies Barcelona (STS-b), working with Francisco Tirado as my Thesis Director.
My PhD research developed a material-semiotic analysis of cancer. It described socio-technical assemblages in which the disease is enacted and constituted as embodied weaves in biomedical networks, reviewing some traditional conceptions about health, normality, body, and risk, adressed by actor-network theory. We inscribed conceptual resources developed by English philosopher A.N. Whitehead.
My research and academic interests are linked to Science and Technology Studies, specifically to the field of biopolitical and governmentality technologies and biomedical knowledge.
At the present I am in charge of two research projects. The first one (2013-2016) is related to performativity of subjectivity in the field of evidence based policies in Chile (PAI Nº 791220018). The Sponsor Researcher is Dr. María Inés Winkler Müller.
The second one (2014-2017) addresses subjectivation, embodiment and biosocial processes of recent biopolitical technologies for health in Chile , considering the case of Explicit Health Guarantees (EHG; GES in Spanish) (Fondecyt Nº 11140590).
Both are founded by National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research (CONICYT).
During my PhD, I have had the opportunity to do a research visit between January and April, 2012, at the Centre for the Study of Innovation and Social Processes (CSISP) at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Thanks to Prof. Marsha Rosengarten for the support.
