| Title | Necropolitics as shared sovereignity in Buenaventura (2002-2010) |
| Summary | The aim of this research is to analyze the actions, interaction and relation among the different actors in dispute for the territorial control on Buenaventura during the presidential terms of Alvaro Uribe Velez (2002-2006 and 2006-2010). These actors (illegal armed groups, development and infrastructure policies from national and local Government, Police, National Army and drug cartels) behave and can be characterized as war machines, considering their methods and goals to exercise sovereignty, production of death as politics or necropower. I will argue, that these dynamics and expressions of necropower and production of disposable bodies are deeply interconnected and consequences of the historical colonial order and racism in Colombia. |
