Abstract
The present article analizes a group of Latin American audiovisual productions under the light of Achile Mbembe’s “necropolitic” problem. The thematical universe of these movies and tv series, produced between 1990’s and 2018, is the criminal world of Latin American cities. I have previously conceptualized these productions as Latin American Lumpen Noir . This concept will allow readers to think about an extra cinematographic problem: how “necropolitical” forms are the biopolitical regime in which vast sectors of Latin American societies live, and how these urban spaces do not take the forms of the Foucauldian panoptic prison, but that of the Latin American prison pavilions.
期刊介绍:
The choice of the name of the journal represents a farewell from the identification of aesthetics with hermeneutics and speculative philosophy of art. It also shows our strong commitment to the irreducibility of aesthetics to a mere psychological fact. The subtitle of the journal “practices, languages and knowledge concerning aesthetics” indicates the present, fertile pluralism of aesthetics. This is a pluralism of views and methods, often connected with the different ways in which contemporary arts and aesthetic abilities present and structure themselves. Also, it is a pluralism of thoughts and formulas, which induces to relativize the western tradition within which the discipline of aesthetics was born. Finally, it is a pluralism of epistemic landscapes, which also trespasses into the sphere of sensibility and art. These various, epistemic landscapes have recently experienced a revolutionary enlargement through the rise of some new or radically renewed disciplines (from neurosciences to anthropology, from cognitive sciences to psychobiology). Indeed, we conceive Aisthesis as a public space where those different approaches and disciplines can interact.
