la pobreza como espacio de indeterminación: un análisis desde la biopolítica

Abstract

In this article is analyzed the problem posed by policies that handle poverty as a particular way of biopolitics of population with the purpose of enhancing the contradiction generated by favouring the inclusion as well as the exclusion of the sectors considered as poor. Such contradiction is analyzed from three different edges: The legal relation established with the figure of the poor, how it defines a space of indetermination of poor population and finally the implications it has in the conformation of a specific surveillance of these social sectors. In this way it is observed that the poverty attention policies are based in a strategy which maximizes the lifes of the de-poverted populations white it tends to maintain them in surviving levels. Considering the effects it may have on the democratic consolidation of the region, it slanld be payed more attetion to this issue.
