Dispositive of exception in contemporary societies: notes for a reflection upon the female body

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the relationship between life and politics, proposing as a central issue the situation of violence in contemporary Mexico, specifically the violence perpetrated against women’s bodies, highlighting the ways in which these practices have been maintained invisible in the public space. The analytical keys proposed by contemporary political thought, through the concept of exception dispositive, can address the socio-political in relation to the body, life and production of bare life as the backbone of our time, from a critical position that can extend our perspective on the mechanisms that operate in the political margins.
