Resumen. El presente artículo pretende destacar un asunto que durante mucho tiempo, especialmente desde la Era Moderna, estuvo confinado al olvido. El tema del cuerpo ha sido objeto de múltiples intervenciones que lo redujeron a un nivel instrumental. Para el orden social de la Modernidad, la dimensión corporal ha sido una herramienta utilizada para la perpetuación y la reproducción social. Para la ciencia, por otra parte, la entidad carnal solo ha sido un objeto de interés técnico. Antes que ser la existencia viviente que constata el "ser-en-el-mundo", se ha visto el cuerpo como una especie de materialidad que hay que negar y reprimir. En ese sentido, el presente texto transita por varios dominios: en primer lugar, se pretende expresar la importancia del cuerpo en la edificación del sentido social. En suma, lo corporal es un reflejo, en espejo, de la sociedad. En segundo lugar, se señala cómo la entidad somática está envuelta en la paradoja de ser lo más cercano, pero también lo más lejano debido a las múltiples estrategias de negación que ha emprendido la cultura occidental. Posteriormente se remarca el ideal del cuerpo-máquina moderno como una forma de huida y de exilio ante la desoladora topía del cuerpo. Por último, se emprende una reflexión final acerca del lugar del cuerpo en las sociedades de consumo contemporáneas.Palabras clave: cuerpo humano, filosofía, historia de la medicina, salud holística, tecnología.Abstract. This article seeks to highlight an issue which for a long time, especially in the modern era, has been neglected. The body has been subject to a series of intrusions that have practically reduced it to the level of an object. For modern society, the human body has been nothing more than an instrument, a tool used to perpetuate itself and reproduce. For science, moreover, the body has been merely an object of technical interest. Rather than a living existence which confirms our state of being, the body has been viewed as something to be denied and repressed. In that context, this article covers several aspects. First of all, it addresses the body's impor tance in the development of social sensibility. In short, the body is a reflection or mirror of society. The article also points out that, as a result of various denial strategies instigated by western culture, the body is paradoxically the closest thing to, and the furthest thing from, us. The article also deals with the modern ideal of the body-machine as a means of escape from the desolate state of the body. It concludes with a reflection on the body's place in consumer society.

Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the preferences of patients with cancer in Medellin, Colombia. Methods: A qualitative approach based on the theoretical and methodological resources of the grounded theory was conducted. Between June 2020 and March 2021, patients over 18 years old with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer within the past 2 years treated in Medellin, Colombia, were selected. Theoretical saturation sampling was performed. Each participant was interviewed between 2 and 3 times in accordance with the open, axial, and selective coding of the grounded theory. Results: A common preference set emerged in all patients related to the attributes of healthcare professionals and is a category that unites their scientific and humanistic aspects. On the other hand, very heterogeneous preferences were presented that were associated with the doctor-patient relationship and the therapeutic objectives. In the doctor-patient relationship, there are those who adhere to a paternalistic model and those who opt for an informative model. In therapeutic objectives, two subcategories emerged: those who are inclined to preserve life and those who accord more value to the quality of life. Conclusion:The categories that emerged illustrate the complexity and challenges of the preferences of patients with cancer in theoretical and experiential terms for social studies of medicine, philosophy, and bioethics. From medical social studies, it's emphasized that the experiences of dehumanization are constant, which generates shared preferences in the patients related to the ideal of the medical professional. From the philosophical perspective, the care received by patients coincides with what was called medicine for slaves in ancient Greece, insofar as patients are not assumed to be free subjects. With respect to bioethics, some ideas are raised contrary to the support of individual autonomy; relational autonomy and the respect for the person above the autonomy itself are advocated.
RESUMENIntroducción: los discursos filosóficos y socioantropológicos sobre el cuerpo no han sido objeto de interés en la formación médica.Objetivo: caracterizar las representaciones sociales del cuerpo en estudiantes de Medicina, Medellín, 2014.Métodos: etnografía con 11 estudiantes seleccionados mediante muestreo teórico. Las representaciones sociales se estudiaron desde el enfoque procesual. Se aplicaron los criterios de rigor metodológico de credibilidad, auditabilidad y transferibilidad.Resultado: se describen tres categorías analíticas: 1) concepciones del cuerpo que incluyó las subcategorías "dominio material" y "dominio simbólico"; 2) importancia del cuerpo descrita a partir de las subcategorías "cuerpo como medio y objeto" y "cuerpo como definición del yo"; 3) cuidado del cuerpo con tres subcategorías: "importancia del autocuidado", "el cuerpo de los otros" y "prácticas de autocuidado".Conclusión: la concepción organicista del cuerpo pone al descubierto cómo los estudiantes de Medicina comprenden al otro a partir de principios estrictamente biológicos; epistemoló-gicamente se muestra que los estudiantes son vectores de tradiciones cartesianas carentes de una conciencia histórica en torno a las representaciones del cuerpo; política y socialmente las ideas del grupo se alinean con racionalidades neoliberales que vindican la mercantilización, tecnificación e individuación del cuerpo.
