The viopolitical turn. Violance and deconstruction. In this essay, I propose to establish some patterns for discussing the problem of violence. Generally, and in particular since Illuminist age, violence has been a word that has had a philosophical, political, sociological and anthropological negative charge. Some people say that violence is bad in itself. What I pretend to show, is that the idea and the practices of violence cannot be eliminated with moral, ethics or epistemological principles, because violence is a fundamental condition of our human power and being. However, the principal question of this work is trying to show that a unique form or practice of violence does not exist but on the contrary a multiplicity of both with very different meanings and which we will denominate as violence.

Keywords : violence; viopolitics; violance; deconstruction.
