As Michel Foucault has shown, when the State begins to include among its management tasks the care of the population's life and the administration of man's individual body as a productive force, thus transforming political rationality into biopolitics. To this paradigmatic mechanics of Western modernity, a dislocated time thus arises that concerns a zone of expansive interrogation: What limits, thresholds and tensions inhabit the interior of biopolitical mechanics and especially, in the light of the climate crisis, the processes of colonization and genocide in Latin America that initiate a process of transformation of the geological and environmental conditions of the territories? How to measure the scope and centrality of their constitutive presuppositions and axioms, in particular, life and body, organism and nature, Plantation and race? Provincializing biopolitics, this call alludes to how canonical studies on biopolitics turn a blind eye to this situated context and apply such theory as if it were universal (a place without place or precise location).
