Thus, the Italian philosopher describes central aspects that investigate the ways in which biopower captures the life. Indeed, through the concept of the machine –the anthropological, the language and the governmental– the devices capable of returning the power of life to the calculations of power are described. On the other hand, Frankenstein constructs a series of scenes in which the voice of the Thing challenges its creator, Victor Frankenstein, in an ethical dimension due to his negligence and lack of care. The interpellation is directed at a character but, in Agamben's terms, Víctor Frankenstein is part of a larger machine of which he himself ends up being a victim. The fiction also makes explicit the failure of the biopolitical machinery inasmuch as its protagonist affirms himself in life trying to find possible meanings of existence. Este artículo analiza los diálogos posibles entre el pensamiento de Giorgio Agamben y la novela Frankenstein de Mary Shelley. Así, el filósofo italiano describe aspectos centrales que indagan los modos en que el biopoder captura la nuda vida. En efecto, a través del concepto de máquina –la antropológica, el lenguaje y la gubernamental– se describen los dispositivos capaces de volver la potencia de vida a los cálculos del poder. Por otro lado, Frankenstein construye una serie de escenas en la que la voz de la Cosa interpela a su creador, Víctor Frankenstein, en una dimensión ética por su negligencia y falta de cuidado. La interpelación se dirige a un personaje pero, tomando los términos de Agamben, Víctor Frankenstein forma parte de una maquinaria mayor de la que él mismo termina siendo víctima. La ficción explicita además la falla de la maquinaria biopolítica por cuanto su protagonista se afirma en la vida procurando hallar sentidos posibles de existencia.   Facultad de Humanidades UNCo 2022-12-09 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/4748 ark:/s18537960/fqm8abc27 Páginas de Filosofía; Vol. 23 No. 26 (2022); 27-44 Páginas de Filosofía; Vol. 23 Núm. 26 (2022); 27-44 1853-7960 0327-5108 spa https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/4748/61719 https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/4748/62383 Derechos de autor 2023 Páginas de Filosofía https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
