Abstract
En este artículo exploramos la manera en que las diferencias basadas en la cultura son producidas y tratadas por los profesionales que están a cargo de procesos de evaluación experta en los que se valoran competencias o aptitudes específicas (sexuales o familiares) de categorías diferenciadas de sujetos (como las personas inmigrantes en la epidemiología del VIH o las familias constituidas por adopción internacional). Al presentar comparativamente dos ámbitos de intervención, aunque a priori dispares, trazamos algunas similitudes relevantes para la comprensión de las lógicas institucionales que están implícitas en intervenciones de este tipo. En especial, nos interesamos por las derivaciones biopolíticas que dan soporte al despliegue de estas estrategias de mediación experta y de tratamiento de la diferencia cultural.
In this article we explore how culture-based differences are produced and treated by professionals responsible for expert evaluation processes in which specific (sexual or family) competencies or skills are assessed in different subject categories (such as immigrant persons in HIV epidemiology or families constituted by international adoption). By comparing these two areas of intervention, albeit a priori dissimilar, we pinpoint relevant likenesses that help understand the institutional logics implicit in interventions of this type. In particular, we are interested in the biopolitical derivations that support the deployment of these strategies of expert mediation and treatment of cultural difference.
