En este artículo reflexionamos sobre los diversos usos de la categoría de género y apostamos por una consideración del género como dispositivo de poder, es decir, subrayando su operatividad como productor y regulador de la vida social y subjetiva, en interacción con otros dispositivos. Partiendo de las herramientas foucaultianas para pensar y analizar las relacio-nes de poder y recogiendo la aportación de Judith Butler en relación con la intersección entre el paradigma postestructuralista y el psicoanalítico, expondremos aspectos teóricos y analiticos de esta operatividad del género como dispositivo específico de poder; partiendo desde el nivel macrosocial hasta los procesos psíquicos, performativos e identitariosIn this article we reflect on diverse uses of the category "gender," and argue for a consideration of gender as a dispositif of power, that is, emphasizing its operationality as a pro-ducer and regulator of social and subjective life, in interaction with other dispositifs. Using foucauldian tools to think and analyze relations of power, and picking up on Judith But-ler's contributions in this domain related to the articulation between postestructuralism and psychoanalysis, we offer theoretical and analytic approaches to gender's operationality as a particular dispositif of power; from its macrosocial operationality as this is articulated in discourses and practices, to the microsocial normalization of subjects' identities through intersubjectivity and the psychic dimension of social norms and practice
