In order to achieve such a purpose, the article proposes a comparative reading between political theory and literature, interpreting from a biopolitical perspective the novels Un dia entre las cruces and La rueda de Chicago. &us, the article answers how the networks of knowledge/ power constitute the subjectivity of the ctional character –Elipsio– in his condition of exile, and how does he resist and dene his own subjectivity. &e work reveals some of the key elements of the exile device such as the break of the subject with his/her homeland, the production of bare life, the persecution and runaway, and the counterpoint experience and consciousness. It also shows that processes of resistance, or counter-device, include elements such as loneliness, writing, counterpoint and discontinuity like useful experiences, resistance to bare life, communities of exiled individuals, and love as a counter-device.
