This article contends that in Mexico’s necropolitical governmentality (the policies designed for the administration of death), human rights discourses have become a technology used to regulate and normalize the sociopolitical consequences of criminal and state violence, while administrating mass-produced death. Based on the postcolonial notion of necropolitics (specifically, Achille Mbembe’s critique of Michel Foucault’s biopolitics), this article argues that Mexican necropolitical governmentality instrumentalizes human rights discourses through what I refer to as the “apparatus for the management of suffering.” This apparatus is comprised of four strategies based on human rights technologies intended to sustain necropower: the legalization of social demands; an institutional complex that regulates the time and space of subjects for the control of their political agency; the construction of passive and active objects; and the allocation of resources that commodify and reify justice. The article concludes that human rights discourse has become a strategy for the management of death in Mexico.

墨西哥的亡灵政治治理与人权技术带来的苦难管理

本文认为,在墨西哥的亡灵政治治理(为管理死亡而设计的政策)中,人权话语已成为一种技术,用于规范和规范犯罪和国家暴力的社会政治后果,同时管理大量生产的死亡。基于后殖民时期的死灵政治概念(特别是阿基尔·姆本贝对米歇尔·福柯的生命政治的批判),本文认为墨西哥的死灵政治政府通过我所说的“痛苦管理装置”将人权话语工具化。该机构由旨在维持死神权力的基于人权技术的四种策略组成:社会需求合法化;一种制度复合体,它调节主体的时间和空间以控制其政治机构;被动和主动对象的构建;以及使正义商品化和具体化的资源分配。文章的结论是,人权话语已成为墨西哥应对死亡的一种策略。
