Abstract
El presente artículo es una aproximación crítica a la figura de Primo Levi como testigo de la violencia y una
indagación en la vinculación ético-política de su testimonio. Frente a lo indecible, frente a la inmoralidad de la historia, la
tarea de un testigo como Levi será forzar los límites de lo posiblemente representable. En la búsqueda de una comprensión
lo más profunda y matizada de esta aportación, vamos a contraponer dialécticamente su denuncia de la barbarie, su
reivindicación del lugar de las víctimas del totalitarismo, frente a algunas de las interpretaciones que han clausurado o
negado la posibilidad y el valor de esa clase de testimoniar, particularmente la de Giorgio Agamben.
This article is a critical approach to the figure of Primo Levi as a witness of violence, and an inquiry into the ethical and political nature of his testimony. Faced with the unspeakable, with the deeply immoral, Levi’s task as a witness is that of pushing the limits of what can be possibly represented. In the search for the deepest and clearest understanding of his contribution we will confront his denunciation of barbarism, his claim for the victims of totalitarianism, with the views/interpretations that have rejected or denied this possibility and the worth of this testimony, particularly that of Giorgio Agamben.
