Abstract

Based on a case study, this article advances in understanding the concrete mechanisms that channel subjectivation processes in the context of public policies to promote healthy lifestyles. It analyzes the operation of the Vida Sana Program, implemented by the Government of Chile within the framework of the Choose Healthy Living System, through interviews with beneficiaries and the teacher responsible for the program’s physical activity sessions in a district of Santiago. Its analysis suggests the coexistence of a rationality of choice, which has traditionally been identified with the discourse of active life, with a rationality that emphasizes mutual care among members of a community. The study proposes that it has theoretical implications for understanding sports and health public policies as a form of governing through community.
