Animals, people, automata , and ghosts i n Latin America
Keywords:
Animals, Person, Automata, Spectra, Subject, BiopoliticsAbstract
This article analyses four concepts and figures and their relationships in biopolitical framework: animals, people,
automata and spectra. These four categories can be found in the aesthetic and conceptual thresholds of subjectivity, and for this, they deconstruct classical dichotomies such as body and soul. This article also proposes examples taken from Latin American literature of the intersections between these figures in which monstrous figures of individual and collective (dis) figuration arise.
