Abstract

We propose the term slasher capitalism as a tool to analyze the Mexican economic, socio-political, symbolic and cultural landscapes, both affected and rewritten by drug trafficking and necropolitics (understood here as a symbolic and economic machinery that produces other codes, grammars, narratives and social interactions). These terms are part of a discursive taxonomy that seeks to uncover the complexity of criminal networks in the Mexican context, as well as its connections with exacerbated neo-liberalism, globalization, the binary construct of gender as political performance and the creation of capitalistic subjectivities, which are re-colonized by the economy and represented by Mexican criminals and drug traffickers, who within the taxonomy of gore capitalism are called endriago subjects1.
