¿Cómo hacer de la vulnerabilidad una herramienta para el cambio? Apuntes para repensar la democracia y la vida común

Abstract

The current mercanile logic fragiliza the life: while containing no limits for the extraction of profit, destroyed the social bow and produces disposable bodies. Thus, the violence displayed of the differential ways on bodies becomes a quality non-contingent, but structural of the capitalism. Opposite to it, it would be necessary to deny the vulnerability as part of the royal of the existence in favour of the power to defend the life. Nevertheless, we argue that the opposite happens: only admitting it as inherent part of the being - into the sense of his uncompletion and ontological opening - it is possible to sit the bases for the commun-life from other ethical-political criteria, directed to breaking with the inequality and the dispossession. Said differently: the vulnerability turns into a tool for the politics into the measurement into that provides the base to look for new forms of recognition from which to rethink the democracy.
