Abstract
KATZER, Leticia. Biopolitics and communalization. A Philosophical and Ethnographic Approach. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2020, n.34, pp.82-108. Epub Feb 25, 2021. ISSN 1794-2489. https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n34.05.
By thinking of ethnicity as a “domain of knowledge”, we put forward the following hypothesis: Ethnic identifications signal different trajectories of shared living/life in common, among which commonalization is but one. Drawing from an ethnographic case (Huarpe), we analyse three different ethnic “trajectories”: The trajectory of commonalization, decommonalization, and non-commonalized. We explore the theoretical and legal colonial/modern ways of structuring/building life-in-common in the field of ethnicity, analysing them as a framework articulating the biopolitical matrix and governmentality.
