Resumen
This article presents a theoretical approach to understand the phenomenon of transnational gangs from the perspective ofmodern subjectivity production. According to Nietzsche perspective, it is a closed or spherical subjectivity, while following thecontributions of Roberto Esposito, it is observed gang members in a subjectivity open to the other through the gift and communitydrifting, resulting violent clashes between gangs and the rest of the society. First, there is a discussion about subjective internalizationaccording to the political, economic and libidinal levels, in order to illustrate what is and how the spherical subject occurs. Secondly,the concept is the open subjectivity of gang members, This does not imply, a lack of modern subject characteristics. The final instancelooks into the relationship of the gang as a social/communal place versus the rest of society and the Salvadorian governmentresponsiveness aimed at eradicating these groups without considering they are able to deliver more than violence.
