For this, the authors start from the complex concept of biopolitics developed by Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito and Michael Hardt & Antonio Negri and, taking into account their multiple articulations and contradictions, they propose not their substitution, but deepen it with the sights set on the political, legal, economic and cultural conditions that today characterize our societies, which can no longer be read simply as disciplinary, control, consumption or entertainment societies. In fact, neoliberal capitalism ended up merging those variants into an undifferentiated and mutant amalgam that denies any narrative or experience that does not submit to its quantitative, nootropic and self-controlling opinions. These translate into a bioartzquía in which the medical-pharmaceutical power is combined with technologies and devices of (de) subjectivation aimed at creating a "productive" and enterprising, stupid and concentration-focused world. It is in this sense that only a bio-powerful thought can deactivate the bio-, tannate- and necropolitical mechanisms used by capital to reproduce itself. Betting on categories of thought that do not submit to the traditional dyads of the philosophical-political lexicon, this book presents the radical, common, inoperative, impersonal and fluid dimension of a singular life that emerges from itself as insurmountable resistance, that is, as bioemergence. To do this, a series of critical dimensions (philosophical, literary, scientific, etc.) are managed, while dialogues are established with strongly indisciplinary or independent thinkers - who come to join the aforementioned classics - such as Gilles Deleuze, Simone Weil , Emanuele Coccia, Judith Butler and Nikolas Rose, among many others. From this mixture arises the power of life in all its excess (self) (dis) constitutive, in constant struggle against the (micro) (macro) powers that seek to domesticate it
