Abstract

The present work aims at addressing the problem of relations between politics and time in the thinking of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, situating it from four injunctions where this question is developed: a) the problematic of life and forms of life; b) the community problem; C) the state of exception; d) the relations between time, memory and history. It is intended to expose the inevitable imbrication of the political problematic with the debates around the time and the memory in the agambeniana presenting some of the main difficulties and implications involving its formulation.
