CASTRO ANIYAR, Daniel. The importance of blood in obtaining citizenship: Reflections on the use of DNA in the iure sanguinis of Israeli law. ESPACIO ABIERTO [online]. 2025, vol.34, n.2, pp.73-87.  Epub 15-Mayo-2025. ISSN 1315-0006.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15110045.

The recognition of DNA as a technology that facilitates the awarding of citizenship by iure sanguinis, implies an anthropological impact that has been little or not at all addressed in the relevant literature to date: The awakening of the contradiction between the identity of the nation and the official-conjunctural identity. It is proposed to understand that the contemporary migration discourse, dominated by the predominant conjunctural nature of modern migration policies and law, in practice, accounts for rights arising from the needs of the labor market, the flow of capital, citizen security and the electoral market. This means that in order to understand the contemporary iure sanguinis it is essential to integrate it into the dominant narrative of iuris oeconomici, iuris comitiorum and iuris periculi. The experience that Israel develops towards the use of DNA for the recognition of citizenship awakens this contradiction, since it puts back at the center of legality the fact that a State is fundamentally a nation, that is, the administrative, public and modern expression of families. The contradiction between the identity of the nation and the official-conjunctural identity poses an epistemological problem: the optimism of modern rationalism, by not perceiving the difference between the conjunctural clock and the structural clock of the identity of the subjects, prevents itself from understanding the true process of cultural integration of the foreigner into the host nation.
