Resumen

This article aims to raise the possibility of making life less precarious through the affirmative biopolitics of Roberto Esposito and the concept of dissent by Jacques Rancière. The working hypothesis that guides our reflection points out that it is no longer enough to point out how power is exercised over life. On the contrary, today more than ever it is necessary to affirm the power of life through an affirmative biopolitics and enable dissent as new ways of thinking, saying and feeling. Finally, we think about how to transform precarious lives subsumed into survival through the power of a life that is not satisfied with defeatist discourses without any political power. © (2023), (Universidad de Caldas).
