Estado de exceção como produção da vida nua em Giorgio Agamben. 2022. 327f. Tese (Doutorado em Filosofia) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/47030This study seeks to show how the state of exception, as thought by Giorgio Agamben, consists of a paradigm of contemporary government capable of producing zones of anomie that capture life and depoliticize individuals, as well as pointing out how the structures of the Messianism may suggest the intelligibility necessary for the construction of a possible theory of the state of exception that the legal sciences lack. This research aims to expand and improve the theoretical discussions of the works of this philosopher, seeking to show how the exception produces a zone of anomie from which lives are captured in an exclusion and excluded in capture. This produces a subject (constructed body-to-body with the devices) deprived of all its political power and reduced to a single form of life, the bare life, to one that can be exploited as an object and mowed down without anyone who eliminates it committing any crime punishable. For this, in the first chapter, we carried out a brief journey that aims to clarify the method of archaeological research used by the Italian philosopher, emphasizing that his researches aim to find the point of insurgence of phenomena capable of explaining his object of study. In the second chapter, we reconstruct the meaning of the concept of biopolitics from a discussion on the politicization of life and how this process reveals the capture of a life that should not belong to the political sphere. In the following chapter, the two authors who are the essential matrices, according to Giorgio Agamben, for thinking about the state of exception are presented: Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin. In the fourth chapter, we present how the Italian philosopher understands the state of exception, what are its possible roots and what reasons lead him to classify it as a government paradigm from which bare life is produced. In the fifth and final chapter, we analyze the so-called pandemic texts in view of the controversies that their publications aroused in Brazil and suggesting that a more fruitful reading of these texts must be carried out from a thought that meditates, that inquires about the meanings of our actions. – at this point, we take the opportunity to clarify some points of misunderstanding of the philosophy of the Italian thinker, on the part of some of his readers, and we emphasize that the Italian philosopher writes about the pandemic in a different context from ours and that, therefore, his theses cannot and nor should they be applied to the singularities of the Brazilian reality.We end the chapter by presenting what we consider to be the possible escape routes pointed out by for a policy to come. This is done from an “atheological” analysis of theological concepts (such as messianism and messianic time) and how the cenobite monks can represent a way of life that does not allow itself to be captured by the legal authorities. In this sense, the theological concepts worked by Agamben must be read from the attempt to formulate a theory of exception that is missing and cannot exist in the legal sciences.Acesso AbertoBiopolíticaEstado de exceçãoVida nuaMessianismoForma-de-vidadoctoralThesis
