Fatness, discrimination and classism: a study in youth from santiago de chile
We present the results related to the construction of fatness and its relationship with social classes. Fat is constituted as a condition that defines the person as anxious, lazy and deformed, which justifies the action of discrimination. The attributes by which fat people are excluded coincide with those historically used to discriminate against the poor, hence we conclude that it constitutes a new form of classism.

Family and woman as population's government instruments for social assistance
This article questions the way family and woman were formed as the main points of intervention of policies for Social Assistance. Therefore, we will bring elements that show the historical emergence of this interest, using Foucault's biopolitics concept. It can be seen that, historically, families and women have been main targets of disciplining and regulation of existence. The policies for Social Assistance also produce these practices, either focusing on interventions that engender a family model in their practices, or creating rules for the inclusion at services and benefits which are based on the association between wo...
