description As a result of the covid-19 pandemic, there is a significant increase in the rate of femicides and disappearances of women in Mezquital Valley (Hidalgo State). The ongoing health con- tingency, the War on Huachicol and the socio-environmental problem in this region -one of the most polluted in the world- give account for the colonial context that frames this policy of death (Mbembe, 2006). Thus, in this paper we return to the approach of the Modern/Colonial Gender System (Lugones, 2008) to explain the configuration of a necropolitical masculin- ity (Valencia, 2010) based on the figure of huachicolero, to whom the sovereign right to kill subjects and have nature under his control is conferred. The result: femicide violence as a direct effect of colonial gender imaginaries in which women are differentiated, from gender and race categories. As part of nature, women are considered appropriable, exploitable and damageable due to a pedagogy of cruelty (Segato, 2014a)

Thus, in this paper we return to the approach of the Modern/Colonial Gender System (Lugones, 2008) to explain the configuration of a necropolitical masculin- ity (Valencia, 2010) based on the figure of huachicolero, to whom the sovereign right to kill subjects and have nature under his control is conferred. The result: femicide violence as a direct effect of colonial gender imaginaries in which women are differentiated, from gender and race categories. As part of nature, women are considered appropriable, exploitable and damageable due to a pedagogy of cruelty (Segato, 2014a)A raíz de la pandemia del covid-19 se da un incremento importante en la tasa de feminicidios y desapariciones de mujeres en el Valle del Mezquital (estado de Hidalgo). La contingencia sanitaria en curso, la llamada Guerra contra el Huachicol y el problema socioambiental en esta región –una de las más contaminadas del mundo– dan cuenta del contexto colonial que enmarca esta política de muerte (Mbembe, 2006). Así, en este artículo retomamos el plan- teamiento del Sistema Moderno/Colonial de Género de María Lugones (2008) para explicar la configuración de una masculinidad necropolítica (Valencia, 2010) a partir de la figura del huachicolero, a quien se le confiere el derecho soberano de dar muerte a los sujetos y tener bajo su control la naturaleza. El resultado: la violencia feminicida como un efecto directo de los imaginarios coloniales de género en el que las mujeres son diferenciadas, desde las categorías de género y raza, como parte de la naturaleza, ergo, cuerpos apropiables, explo- tables y muertos al amparo de una pedagogía de la crueldad (Segato, 2014a).Como resultado da pandemia covid-19, há um aumento significativo na taxa de femicídios e desaparecimentos de mulheres no Vale do Mezquital (estado de Hidalgo). A contingência sanitária em curso, a chamada Guerra contra Huachicol e o problema socioambiental dessa região -uma das mais poluídas do mundo- dão conta do contexto colonial que enquadra essa política de morte (Mbembe, 2006). Assim, neste artigo voltamos à abordagem do Sistema de Gênero Moderno/Colonial de María Lugones (2008) para explicar a configuração de uma masculinidade necropolítica (Valencia, 2010) a partir da figura do huachicolero, a quem é conferido o direito soberano para matar súditos e ter a natureza sob seu controle. Resultado: a violência feminicida como efeito direto dos imaginários coloniais de gênero em que as mulheres se diferenciam, das categorias de gênero e raça, como parte da natureza, logo, apropriável, explorável e danificável devido a uma pedagogia da crueldade (Segato, 2014a)Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, UNAM2023-02-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/ras/article/view/8487710.22201/fcpys.24484938e.2022.88-89.84877Acta Sociológica; No. 88-89 (2022): Reflections on Biopolitics and Necropolitics ; 245-276Acta Sociológica; Núm. 88-89 (2022): Reflexiones en torno a la Biopolítica y Necropolítica; 245-276Acta Sociológica; n. 88-89 (2022): Reflexões sobre biopolítica e Necropolítica; 245-2762448-49380186-602810.22201/fcpys.24484938e.2022.88-89reponame:Acta Sociológicainstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/ras/article/view/84877/74497Derechos de autor 2022 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Méxicoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/848772024-08-16T16:38:26Z
