Abstract
El siguiente trabajo interroga la producción teórica del filósofo italiano
Giorgio Agamben a partir de lo que sería una paradoja constitutiva de su
pensamiento y, más allá de él, de la filosofía política contemporánea. A esta
paradoja le hemos identificado como una amfibología en el uso de nociones
tales como política, soberanía, vida desnuda, biopolítica, etc. Cuestión que
mantiene en vilo un pensamiento que oscila entre una noción schmittiana de
la excepción y una noción benjaminiana de potencialidad. Así, confrontando
sus nociones constitutivas, sometemos a cuestionamiento su cierre del universo político a partir de relativizar las nociones de poder, soberanía y biopolítica
que parecen definir gran parte de su trabajo, sirviéndonos de las observaciones de Jacques Derrida en sus seminarios sobre La bestia y el soberano
The following work interrogates the theoretical production of the Italian contemporary philosopher Giorgio Agamben from what we consider to be a constitutive aporia of his thought, and of contemporary thought in general. We identify this aporia with a sort of amphibological use of notions such as politics, sovereignty, nude life, biopolitics, among others. At the same time, this problem leads Agamben to oscillate between an Schmittian notion of exception and a Benjaminian notion of potentiality. Through a confrontation with his main categories, we critically review his closure of the political universe and question his unilateral understanding of power, sovereignty and biopolitics. To do that, we use Jacques Derrida’s seminar on The Beast and the Sovereign.
