Disposable bodies: neosovereignty and exclusion in digital era

Abstract

The theoretical research aims to study the formation of a contemporary neosovereign regime of power, influenced by digital technologies that strengthen new socioeconomic configurations in a general process of construction of virtual work relations. Using some aspects of Foucault’s thought, it seeks to analyze the production dynamics of current power relations permeated by the creation of new subjectivities managed by necropolitical schemes for psychic weakening, and even physical elimination of those who do not fit into the system’s daily extraction of wealth.

Keywords
neosovereignty; digital capitalism; surveillance; subjectivations; exclusion
