    Beskrivelse

    The paper explores mining corporations’ hard and soft security practices when they get entangled in everyday biopolitical management of life and death. The central 'site' for the paper is the 150 km rail line constructed in the Colombian La Guajira peninsula in 1983 to transport coal from one of the world’s biggest open-pit coal mines to the harbor. The paper is based on 10 months of ethnographic fieldwork.
