| description | For more than a century the society, the women’s movement and the feminist organizations are crossed by a debate which is still latent and unresolved: the prostitution, is or is not a job? And in the case of being so, how should it be implemented, regulated and exercised? From this discussion, we analyze the film Elles from the director Malgorzata Szumowska. In this film, Anne, a journalist from the magazine Elle, should make interviews to students who choose the sex work as financial support. To do this, we try to make a crossover between the definitions of biopolitics and sex that offers Michel Foucault, linking it to the position that society and the state currently assumed to sex work. This film will allow us to uncover some tension and discourses that cross our societies combining religious, moral prejudices and hygienists have the sole effect of discrimination, stigmatization and persecution of those who exercise the sex trade. |

Hace más de un siglo que la sociedad, el movimiento de mujeres y las organizaciones feministas, se encuentran atravesados por un debate que aun hoy sigue latente y sin resolverse: la prostitución, ¿es o no es un trabajo? Y en el caso de serlo, ¿cómo debería ser implementado, regulado y ejercido? A partir de este debate, nos proponemos analizar la película Elles de la directora Malgorzata Szumowska donde Anne, una periodista de la revista Elle, debe realizar entrevistas a estudiantes que eligen como su sustento económico el trabajo sexual. Para ello, intentaremos realizar un entrecruzamiento entre las definiciones de biopolítica y sexo que nos ofrece Michel Foucault, vinculándolo a la posición que la sociedad y el Estado asumen actualmente ante el trabajo sexual. Dicho film nos permitirá poner al descubierto ciertas tensiones y discursos que atraviesan a nuestras sociedades combinando prejuicios religiosos, morales e higienistas que tienen como única consecuencia la discriminación, estigmatización y persecución de quienes ejercen el comercio sexual.
