description The objective of this article is to analyze and explain the context of violence and the despotic exercise of government power that, through an organic relationship with drug trafficking groups, dispossessed thousands of families in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, in the period 2011-2017. The term “necropolitics of dispossession” is proposed, following the theoretical routes associated with necropower and dispossession, together with the analysis of testimonial narrative. Journalistic and documentary research works are taken as a reference, where citizens reveal, based on their experiences, how the government of the state operates. As a result, new theoretical-conceptual elements are found, which contribute to the discussion and understanding of little perceptible relations of the States with drug trafficking. It is concluded that the necropolitics of dispossession favors the accumulation of local capital and the concentration of power through violence, terror and death, strengthening the constitution of narco-states.

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar y explicar el contexto de violencia y el ejercicio despótico del poder gubernamental que, mediante la relación orgánica con los grupos del narcotráfico, despojó a miles de familias del estado de Nayarit, México, en el periodo 2011-2017. Se propone el término de necropolítica del despojo, siguiendo las rutas teóricas asociadas al necropoder y al despojo, junto con el análisis de la narrativa testimonial. Se toman de referencia trabajos de investigación periodística y documental, donde ciudadanos revelan, a partir de sus experiencias, la manera de operar del gobierno del estado. Como resultado, se encuentran nuevos elementos teórico-conceptuales que abonan a la discusión y a la comprensión de relaciones poco perceptibles de los Estados con el narcotráfico. Se concluye que la necropolítica del despojo favorece la acumulación de capitales locales y la concentración de poder mediante la violencia, el terror y la muerte, lo cual fortalece la constitución de narcoestados.
