Keresología Hacia un Método Materialista para el Estudio de la Economía Punitiva de Muerte

Something happens in society under the law of capitalist economic movement where a world of appearances takes shape before our eyes to the extent of devouring everything and becoming the objective reality. Bourgeois social relations of punishment configure a concealment and inversion of effective reality, as a result of which, penitentiary mortality takes on a form different from what it really is, specifically appearing as its opposite. Due to its scientific weakness, the conceptions regarding punitive matters known up to now have incurred the error of trying to understand this phenomenon, interpreting the distorted social process that stands out in the mystical crust covering objective reality, not from the essence of mortality production. In light of these considerations, the project of knowledge critique of the political economy of punishment has developed keresology as a materialist theory to study the punitive power of death. In order to deepen its explanation, this essay applies historical and dialectical materialism to analyze the development of modern punishment in bureaucratic capitalist nations, industrial capitalist countries, and imperialist powers, aiming to reveal the hidden functioning of the imperialist capitalist blood circulation economy.
