Project Details

Description

We consider the need to study biopolitical transformations in the historical process of societies such as Andean, understanding them as conceptual devices to analyze the forms of contemporary reason or philosophical policies (real and symbolic) that requires the modernization of capital, and that are presented as gnoseological representations. Investigate the constitutive of the gnoseological and political representation of the subjects in the Andean societies, through the constitutional processes, with a comparative approach between Ecuador, Bolivia and Venezuela, where the moments of articulation between biopolitics and biocapitalism will be sought, and under what ways are visible or overlap. Methodologically, it is proposed to analyze the forms of re-presentations from a criticism of the discourse that is generated from power; Hence, we consider the conceptions about the subjects, sovereignty, democracy and power as central categories whose geopolitical route opens a set of tensions rather than binarisms. The expected results will take place in three scientific articles for publication, the same that will express the development of the subject investigated, in addition, it is expected to update the discussion about the current configuration of the subjects demanded by the modernity of capital, between teachers of the social area and the humanities, and among the grade and postgraduate students who are investigating problems related to the subject of the project.
