          Abstract

          Si bien Arendt nunca usó explícitamente el término biopolítica, de sus análisis sobre el totalitarismo y de sus planteamientos sobre la modernidad puede emerger una noción negativa de biopolítica. Sin embargo, según Agamben, Arendt no logró desprenderse de esa noción negativa, mientras que Esposito considera que su concepto de vida es limitado y le impide pensar en la dirección correcta el vínculo entre política y vida. Este ensayo se propone profundizar en la noción arendtiana de vida para discutir si la autora puede enfrentar adecuadamente una biopolítica negativa y si, además, puede dejar abierta la posibilidad de una biopolítica positiva que acoja la vida de los individuos en su singularidad.

          Translated abstract

          Although Arendt never explicitly used the term biopolitics, in her analysis of totalitarianism and in her assessments of modernity a negative notion ofbiopolitics seems to emerge. However, according to Agamben, Arendt could not detach herself from that negative notion, while Esposito considers Arednt's concept of life to be limited, thus inhibiting her from thinking through the proper link between politics and life. This essay aims to delve into Arendt's notion of life in order to discuss if she could adequately confront negative biopolitics and if she was able to open up the possibility of positive biopolitics, one that accepts the lives of individuals in their singularity.
