El artículo presenta el concepto original de “cuerpo poroso” como una perspectiva integral y relacional frente al modelo biomédico tradicional en la medicina, la bioética y la salud pública.
Basándonos en el monismo de Spinoza y los ensamblajes de Deleuze y Guattari, esta noción caracteriza al cuerpo como permeable, dinámico e interdependiente con su entorno biológico, social y cultural. Históricamente, desde los modelos mágico-religiosos hasta la biomedicina molecular, se destaca cómo las visiones del cuerpo han evolucionado desde lo sobrenatural hacia enfoques más mecanicistas y reduccionistas. El cuerpo poroso desafía esta fragmentación, resaltando la influencia de factores epigenéticos y neurocientíficos que evidencian cómo las condiciones ambientales y sociales afectan la salud humana.
En bioética, promueve una ética relacional que valora la interdependencia comunitaria por sobre la autonomía individual aislada. En salud pública, subraya la importancia de abordar los determinantes sociales y ambientales mediante políticas inclusivas y equitativas. Finalmente, cuestiona las lógicas neoliberales en medicina, enfatizando la salud como un derecho colectivo, y propone estrategias prácticas para garantizar una atención sanitaria más justa y sostenible.
