La vida psíquica del poder a partir del caso Yndira Sandoval

Abstract

The case of Yndira Sandoval contributes to elucidate three aspects whose relevance we intend to show in these pages. First, how the modern state, as a social construction contains an excess that encourages control technologies applied to bodies marked by ethnic and sexual difference. Second, how this control technology is supported by a fantasy of sexual violence that authorizes a real scenario linked to the role of the nation-state. Third, how the case unveils the scenario that crosses the fantasmatic concept of the nation-state in relation to the differences that became pressing among the Mexican feminist activism.
