RESUMO

Abstract The citizenship concept is probably, one of the most studied along the History from a social perspective: from Aristoteles and the Greek polis until the liberal city of the 20th Century. In this sense, it has been recently emerged several studies such as the Nikolas Rose or Kezia Barker works highlighting key role of bioscience and biotechnology in order to understand the citizen without pointing out the link with a concrete territory. In this paper, we will be linked with this line and we will present the biowatcher concept in order to frame many politics, actions and events around the contemporary city in a field where the social studies has not arrive deeply: biosurveillance and biosecurity practices in our daily life. Through a study case with documentary material about biosurveillance, we will present the difference in our work with the other mentioned proposals using the paraskeue (equipment) concept given by Michel Foucault. Finally, we will discuss about the biopolitics consequences within this new kind of citizenship and we will put forward the value of the scenario concept in the biosurveillance politics.
