Abstract
In this paper we aim to reflect on the exercise of power imposed
by neoliberalism. To do so, we follow some of the clues offered by Michael
Foucault from a critical perspective. This is based on the analysis of the
transformations present in the domain of the bodies, the territory and the
population in Latin America in recent decades. This new settlement expropiation (of the bodies energies, the common properties and social citizenship) faces different forms of recusation or counterconducts which, in a way, contradict the neoliberal management that poses a central challenge: the dilemma between mere life, ultimate survival threshold of the population, and life worth living, which is based on the needs of every community.
Neoliberal biopolitics in this sense redefines the confrontation over «how to
live», «what to live with», «who or what to live for».
