Resumen

HERNANDEZ GAMBOA, Rodrigo. Biopolitics and the legitimation of expendable lives. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.85, pp.189-217.  Epub 31-Oct-2022. ISSN 1665-0565.

This text examines from the hermeneutic method the lack of protection and exclusion of a certain part of the population by the modern State as a response to the mechanisms of preservation and satisfaction of another part of this human existence, manifesting itself as the reverse and the obverse of the management of organic life by political power, a situation that some authors have called biopolitics. The objective is to distinguish the mechanisms that lead to considering a certain part of the population expendable and therefore excusable, as well as the devices tending to their rejection, lack of protection, and elimination. The conclusions of these reflections will be approached from the migratory phenomenon, as a population group that personifies these expendable lives in modernity.

Palabras llave : modernity; political life; political philosophy; biopolitics; political power.
