Sumario:Since the establishment of coloniality, territories and subjectivities have been thought of as closed categories that guarantee the control of the subjects that benefit from capitalist hegemony. The hierarchy of bodies, territories, feelings, and thoughts have produced axes of domination anchored to the sense of the world of colonial capitalist modernity. Under that organization, the State has been one of the institutions that reproduce the edges of oppression to maintain the reified structure. In this system, migrant populations have been represented as an otherness that threatens the security and well-being of the State. Faced with this exclusion, migrants have reconfigured territories and subjectivities to survive abjection. Men have recreated their masculinities to confront structural inequalities and violence in the neoliberal context. For this reason, this article will identify how hegemonizing masculinity has been related to different subjectivities. It will also analyze how masculinities are rearticulated in the context of the crisis of civilization. Since masculinities are changing, the cases of the Sahara and the Sahel, and South Africa will be particularly recovered in this text.
