    Universidad de Medellín Conspiración y nuda vida ¿The X-Files, I want to believe: mundo posible o mundo presente?* Luis Nitrihual Valdebenito** Juan Manuel Fierro Bustos*** Carlos Reyes Velásquez**** Francisco Henríquez Morales***** Recibido: 2017-04-22 Enviado a pares: 2017-05-25 Aprobado por pares: 2017-07-18 Aceptado: 2017-07-25 DOI: 10.22395/angr.v16n31a3 Resumen El presente artículo problematiza, en general, la conspiración como una estructura política y narrativa fundamental de la Modernidad. A través de un análisis fílmico de la serie The X-Files, I want to believe, planteamos como objetivo revelar como el tópico de la conspiración, en un nivel superficial, es un articulador de la trama de la serie, pero en un nivel profundo y amplio entendemos la conspiración como una estrategia articuladora de la vida moderna y, en este marco, del control biopolítico. Así entonces, el artículo muestra cómo la estructura argumentativa de la serie propone tramas y personajes a través de los cuales el poder gubernamental interviene los cuerpos y el espacio, quita y permite la vida, distorsiona la realidad, informa y desinforma. Todo es parte de una estrategia global de confabulación y ocultamiento de la verdad. En conclusión, la serie de televisión permite observar los regímenes de hipervisibilidad e intervención de la máquina gubernamental actual y es, en esta medida, un punto de entrada para reconocer problemas sociales y políticos de total actualidad. Palabras clave: series de televisión; cine; conspiración; nuda vida; control; Archivos Secretos X; estado de excepción; biopolítica. * Artículo producto de los proyectos de investigación FONDECYT n.º 1141289 y FONDECYT n.º 1161253, PLU n.º 1110 y PLU n.º 120010 financiados por el Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología.
