Abstract
The human occurrence of disease is the inevitable fact that arises in the life history of people due to a number of casuistry and etiologies that generate it and evidence it as a disruptive and unavoidable phenomenon in the material life of human beings. Under this orientation, the object of study of this research revolves around the perception of self-care as an epistemological and ontological category in experiences of suffering from chronic diseases. Her research focuses on ethnographic work through the recording of life histories with patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment and in permanent interaction with biotechnological equipment that purifies the blood to return it purified to the bloodstream. This interaction between the human (subject-patient) and the non-human (biotechnological purification machine) establishes an interesting discussion that incorporates a third biopolitical factor such as self-care in the different dynamics and strategies that patients adopt throughout their disease trajectory, thus configuring new meanings and meanings of an "artificial vitality".
