Dzieła
Władza suwerenna i nagie życie – obóz jako paradygmat.
Stanowisko
Agamben takes up Foucault’s concept of biopolitics and Carl Schmitt’s theory of sovereignty. In Roman law the homo sacer was a man who could be killed with impunity but not sacrificed – a figure of “bare life,” excluded from the legal order and yet captured by it. For Agamben, this inclusion through exclusion is the hidden foundation of Western sovereign power. Its paradigm in modernity is the camp, in which the state of exception becomes permanent and people are reduced to bare life. In State of Exception he showed how emergency measures increasingly become a normal technique of government. His theses provoked sharp debate, not least when he applied them to pandemic measures in 2020.
Życie i kontekst
Agamben was born in Rome in 1942, studied law and wrote his thesis on the political thought of Simone Weil. In the late 1960s he took part in Heidegger’s seminars in Le Thor in Provence. He edited the Italian edition of Walter Benjamin’s works and taught in Macerata, Verona, Venice and elsewhere. His multi-volume Homo Sacer project occupied him for two decades.
