Postales del infierno. ¿crisis humanitaria o nuevo modelo de soberanía? Preguntas a propósito de las travesías migrantes en las fronteras europeas

Abstract

Discussions in biopolitics have gone largely through a withdrawal or return of a social ontology, litigating with the foucaultian thesis according to which the only possible ontology is present time. Derived from that record, Agamben and Esposito proposals call for thinking how to constitute the political issue in the light of the reconstruction of the event, which in the context of the opened proceedings long time ago at the European borders, defined as migratory crisis, impels to recreate some political-philosophical interpellations to the current social order.

Assuming the interesting provocation according to which work a porosity on the borders between the discourse and other social studies, we placed our attention  thinking from the biopolitical record how the principle of sovereignty from States lionized by the critical stage of the Spanish borders of Ceuta and Melilla and Lampedusa, Italy, where hundreds of afro-arabian migrants weekly attempt to trespass the fences and the sea  if achieve it, they separating them from a long and painful existence in their origin countries, flagellated by incessant wars and poverty.

The text we present here focuses on tender from the biopolitical grammar questions and reflections on governmentality putting in question the redefinition of the bond between life and politics, official speeches wield to justify the drastic measures on behalf of the defense of sovereignty.

Then we open around the crossroads between biological language, legal and political, by which human life is governed, some signs to put in check the idea of sovereignty opposed to that of justice that rises after the nomination of migration crisis, as opposed to the humanitarian crisis, which refers to this process that coagulates unique manners of denial and protection of life at European borders, particularly during the last three years.
