Abstract
Analizados los acontecimientos recientes en los flujos migratorios
hacia el interior del primer mundo, y en especial en la última
década los movimientos hacia Europa, se considera en este
trabajo que la frontera ha superado su categoría inicial de límite
físico entre dos entidades político-administrativas diferenciadas.
El presente trabajo es un rastreo del estatus actual de la frontera
a través del que se alcanza a especular con las repercusiones que
su extensión espacial y temporal está produciendo en el mundo
contemporáneo.
Si las fronteras, en su anterior estatus funcionaban como
dispositivos biopolíticos, ejerciendo como límite de una soberanía
con derecho a administrar la vida (cuya expresión extrema es el
exterminio); los nuevos usos de la frontera dan pie a considerarlas
dispositivos transpolíticos que hacen surgir una nueva categoría
de sujeto al que no se desea administrar: personas-residuo cuya
propia piel marca el confín del estado.
Having analysed the recent migratory flows to the first world —and especially to Europe during the last decade— this paper considers that the border has exceeded its original category as a physical limit between two separate political-administrative entities. This essay is an exploration of the present-day status of the border. Through this research, we speculate about the spatial and temporary impact that the expansion of the notion and functioning of borders is triggering off in the contemporary world. If borders used to function previously as biopolitical apparatuses —acting as the limits of a sovereignty with the right to administrate the live (to the point of practicing the extermination of its populations)—new borders work as transpolitical apparatuses which give rise to a new category that no longer aspires to be administrated: waste-subjects whose own skin sets the boundary of the state.
