| Abstract | |
The Homo Sacer project, the pillar of Giorgio Agambens later thought, seeks to operate a critique of the Western political apparatus, supported by a reading of modernity that points to the persistence, at its very core, of a negative metaphysics of juridicotheological origin. This critique derives primarily from a reading of Michel Foucaults studies on biopolitics, allied with a second debate, held between Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin, on the relationship between sovereignty and the state of exception. For the Italian thinker, the modern state is marked by the progressive coincidence between the political space, life-management and the state of exception. Based on this thesis, Agamben elects the concentration camp rather than the polis as the fundamental political paradigm of the West. (AU) | |
