With the turn of the century, phenomena in which human conditions, capacities and potentials require pharmacological and especially psychopharmacological intervention, acquired such a thickness that originated a specific school of studies. As a mainly Anglo-Saxon perspective, pharmaceuticalization assemblages knowledges from social studies of science and technology, medicalization, sociology of diagnosis, biopolitics and governmentality, among others, and has an abundant corpus of productions. At the same time, our region has empirical studies that contribute to an own view, though in dialogue with these productions. The objective is to expose a theoretical and methodological revision and analysis on specific literature, as a reference and discussion scaffolding among productions, and highlighting confluences, limitations and analytical specificities.
