In this article I examine the relationship between the body and the use of some biomedical discourses that were set up in the city of Medellín, during the second half of the twentieth century. Based on the analysis of some publications that circulated in the city at that time, I demonstrate how they create sites and discourses for the body and the soul’s well being. This way of managing life, pursuing physical and social health, involved the use of a number of devices for the regularization of healthy practices that supposedly were effective to counter ugliness, old age, and death. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472X65
