La tierra y el nomos soberano

Abstract

The nation-states that were constituted in the modern period under a logic of land appropriation, which went from a religious, mystical vision, to a secularized question. The appropriation of the land was presented as the first advance of a logical domain not only over the territories but also over the bodies. The logic of colonization corresponds to an overflow of this situation of appropriation and domination that goes beyond the borders of the state. The article points out that a nomadic, deterritorialized notion of life can help to change that logic of appropriation and dominance that was consolidated under the modern project.
