Julian Assange: inverted transparency?
Abstract
As an unusual event, April 11, 2019 is marked as the day in which the president of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, decided to quit the political asylum of the WikiLeaks´s founder: Julian Assange. Due to this event, we analyze the global political readjustments that came through this, by scrutinizing Julian Assange´s profile and WikiLeaks. Then it is presented the context of Ecuador´s state, with this, the transparency political problem is localized. In the analysis are included two main models, Michel Foucault's Biopolitics and Byung-Chul Han's Psychopolitics, so we can understand the contemporary neoliberal scenario, as well as future projections of contemporary political reality.
