Neurorights: An Expansion of Life in Chile

Chile became the first country to protect brain data as a constitutional right in 2021. This thesis investigates the spatial and temporal position of the respective "NeuroRights" amendment by conducting a theological genealogy of number 1° of article 19 of the 1980 Constitution, including ratified amendments thereafter, until 2021, through engaging governing documents, such as the 1925 Constitution, the 1833 Constitution, and the unsuccessful Chilean constitution of 2022. Through understanding the positionality of the NeuroRights, as well as those forces that have brought such legislation into existence, the ethnographer becomes equipped to build themselves, as well as the world around them.
