Geografia necropolítica: uma organização territorial da morte e o espaço como ferramenta do necropoder

Abstract

This work deals with power relations over the territory, mainly power relations over life and death. We seek to understand how both are spatialized to understand who has the right to live and die, and how this spatial configuration is organized. Its main objective is to carry out a theoretical discussion on the relationship between biopolitics, necropolitics and geography. For this, it seeks to answer some questions, such as: what is biopolitics? Is there any relationship between biopolitics and geography? What is necropolitics? Can space and territory be used as tools of necropolitics? The methodology used was the literature review of authors from inside and outside the geography that deal with biopolitics, biopower, necropolitics, necropower and territory. As a result, it is possible to consider the existence of several physical and symbolic relationships between biopower, necropower and territory, and their organization. Finally, possibilities to carry out other geographic works through the prism of necropolitics and ways to imagine or create resistance to necropower are presented.
