Abstract: This article is based on the following questions: what power strategies are implemented in the current phase of capitalism in pursuit of the "management" of bodies? Do these strategies assume peculiar characteristics in peripheralised geopolitical contexts? Is it possible that in such spaces the key to peculiarity is found in the conjunction between the notions of power, life-death, and race?
As a first hypothesis, we will argue that this thinker's contributions to critical theory constitute an unavoidable reading key for analyzing the modes of functioning of power over bodies in the contemporary Global South. This is because -we consider- its notion of "necropolitics" allows us to think genealogically not only the forms that the "processes of racialization" took in their emergency (colonial) context, but also the modalities that racism assumes within the current capitalist phase.
Our first objective, then, is to detect - through a brief review of its central texts - both the recurrences and the existing discontinuities between the strategies of construction of "subjects of race" deployed in the period of "modern colonial occupation", and in the "late colonial occupation". A second objective is to answer the question of what bodies have become, today, privileged objects of the "new devices" of identification, classification and racial segregation.
Finally, we will present some of Mbembe's reflections -as well as his relations with the proposals of other thinkers- regarding the practices of resistance and "re-existence" that allow us to rethink politics in the present, in the face of these modes of organization and management of life. |

Resumen: El presente artículo parte de los siguientes interrogantes: ¿qué estrategias de poder son puestas en marcha en la actual fase del capitalismo en pos de la "gestión" de los cuerpos? Estas estrategias ¿asumen características peculiares en contextos geopolíticos periferializados? ¿Acaso Es posible que en tales espacios la clave de la peculiaridad se encuentre en la conjunción entre las nociones de poder, vida-muerte, y raza? A modo de primera hipótesis sostendremos que los aportes de este pensador a la teoría crítica constituyen una clave de lectura ineludible para analizar los modos de funcionamiento del poder sobre los cuerpos en el Sur Global contemporáneo. Esto debido a que –consideramos- su noción de “necropolítica” permite pensar genealógicamente no sólo las formas que los “procesos de racialización” tomaron en su contexto de emergencia (colonial), sino también las modalidades que asume el racismo en el seno de la actual fase capitalista. Nuestro primer objetivo consiste, entonces, en detectar -mediante un breve repaso por sus textos centrales- tanto las recurrencias como las discontinuidades existentes entre las estrategias de construcción de “sujetos de raza” desplegadas en el periodo de “ocupación colonial moderna”, y en la “ocupación colonial tardía”. Un segundo objetivo responder a la pregunta de qué cuerpos se han convertido, hoy, en objetos privilegiados de los “nuevos dispositivos” de identificación, clasificación y segregación racial. Por último, presentaremos algunas reflexiones de Mbembe –así como sus relaciones con las propuestas de otros pensadores- respecto de las prácticas de resistencia y “re-existencia” que permiten repensar la politicidad en el presente, frente a estos modos de organización y gestión de la vida.
