This book tries to argue how torture responds to a political-punitive practice that is embedded in the functioning of the state devices. This is not an admission that we are facing a systematic practice but that the punitive exercise state enabled the conditions of the possibility for their exercise. From this consideration, it opens a requirement to account what happens there. This will require transit through the geographies of torture, the different spaces that articulate the area of detention run by the state, but also by those subjectivities on which is projected a subjectivities that embody the threat and / or exclusion are marked by torture.
