It discusses contemporary works by Guy Ben-Ner and Ragnar Kjartansson as paradigmatic examples of the ways art reveals the limits and exhaustion or falling of late n...

This paper explores Derrida and Agamben’s reading of Kafka’s Before the Law. As a highly symbolic text, Kafka’s short story has elicited numerous interpretations, among which Derrida and Agamben proffer, to some extent, opposing readings that exemplify their broader philosophical projects. By elucidating the parallels between Kafka’s parable and th...

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.

Modern continental thought is skeptical toward happiness and no longer easily reconciles its pursuit with a desire for justice, the good, and truth. Critical theory has unmasked happiness as a commodity within an industry, an ideological tool for control, and a sedative to, justification of, and distraction from social injustice. This article argue...

This essay explores the problem of trust and truth in states of emergency. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben's theory of biopolitics and his objections to political managerialism I argue that the real problem exposed by the pandemic was not a lack of trust in authority but an unscientific and uncritical attachment to expertise. © 2023.

Dans l’introduction de Stanze, Giorgio Agamben rappelle le projet de « poésie universelle » du Cercle d’Iéna qui visait « l’[abolition de] la distinction entre poésie et discipline critico-philologique ». La qualification de critique peut dès lors être seulement conférée aux œuvres qui accueillent leur propre négation, qui se donnent pour objet ce ...
