TRAPAGA, Iban. Migration as Pandemics. Standardization and regulation of the migrants’ bodies in Present Mexico. Runa [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.1, pp.51-69. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v41i1.8157.

Biopolitics, the Michel Foucault`s illustrious ideational legacy, rules the structure, analytics, and real events reflected in this paper. The foreign migration to and toward Mexico during the last decade is considered from Foucault´s perspective. Together with teheorist breakdown, I put to dialogue Agamben, Lemke and Foucault, and I give empirical data about recent events as migrant caravans of hatian and central american people, inter alia. This information was collected by a desk research, and was selected among scientific journals and newspaper archives. Research findings from this range of information prove a pristine implementation of security devices, disciplining devices, and power of life and death against the migrants`body, a deeply racialized body by media discourses.

Palabras clave : Biopolitics; Security; Migration; Health Policies; Racism.
