This thesis develops a detailed examination of the claims made by two key contemporary political philosophers — Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben — concerning the relationship between sovereignty and biopolitics. I argue that both Foucault and Agamben use the concept of sovereignty in two distinct, yet interrelated meanings. First of all, they un...
Political transitions are not instantaneous and do not necessarily make the transition to democracy automatic. In Brazil, the state of exception as a "paradigm of government" (AGAMBEN, 2004) sums up the actions of President Eurico Gaspar Dutra in 1946.
