This study has as object some excerpts from the first six seasons of the TV series The Walking Dead, and the theme is the dichotomy man/walker. The series gives visibility to a segregation of existences, which become close in accordance with some political-philosophical theories. In this research, the mise-en-scene, the shot, the footage, the diegesis among others components of the series were investigated, to point out the fragments that put in relief the elements that were presented during the research. Thereby, from the contemporary political philosophy, it was analyzed the relation between man/walker considering the becoming-walker of the man, and the human remains of the walker, as elements of biopolitical witnesses. In addition, it was necessary to investigate the (im)profanation on the forms of the plot.s visibility, considering the life, bare through the biopolitics, object of material and immaterial consumption, being reflex of the contemporary capitalism in the narrative. Therefore, the state of exception where the characters live was accurately searched, this state characterizing them as homines sacri, in the form of their killability. This characteristic, both sacred and cursed, has shown itself present on the diegetic survivors and from this, it was possible to determine the forms of junction and disjunction of the existences, through rhizomic relations and the profanation of the improfanable.
