ABSTRACT
This article seeks to approach the chronic apparatus of AIDS via discussions on posthumanism, assuming the concept of bio-technological-discoursive and its effects. The thesis being defended is that this apparatus would function as an explanatory-provocative paradigm of posthumanism. Therefore, it initially analyzes the characterization of discussions on bio-technological-discoursive, based on the order of the division between the modalities of life that, in late capitalism, have hybrid inscriptions and hold isolated categories of body, subject, and discourse in abeyance. It then offers a description of the chronic apparatus of AIDS, starting with a brief genealogy, in order to connect chronicity and its medical-pharmacological strategies to new modalities of life. Finally, it considers the possibility of introducing, from discussions between apparatus and discussions on bio-technolocal-discoursive event, a posthuman provocative model.
