Victims of exceptionality: intervantions of the 15M milieu on the Spanish crisis power dynamics (2008-2015)
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Based on the Foucauldian concepts of governmentality and sovereignty, this article analyzes the intervention of modes of ruling based on the sovereign control of the body in the current democratic context of the Spanish financial crisis. I argue that some discourses produced by protest movements like 15M and the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages shed light on the shared experience of a “state of exception” which, far from producing “bare lives” in the Agambian sense, allows for the transformation of destitution into political agency. In this sense, the multiplicity of emerging voices questions the hegemonic frame of public representation and recognition, and reformulates the category of “victim” as a tool for political struggle.
