A violência a partir de Giorgio Agamben: uma perspectiva biopolítica acerca do homo sacer

Abstract

This article preserves the notion that philosophy and violence maintain peculiar relations with the concepts of power, politics and state. In this sense it was necessary to relate to the thoughts of Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault and, in particular, Giorgio Agamben, object of study, basic current authors in understanding violence as situations practiced by men. In the understandable mourn that we perform, we observe that the relationships that define and separate power, strength and violence are established in the very execution of human behavior and in the interpretation we performed of it. The violence as a social phenomenon is showed and in diverse vehemences, which obstructed its limitation at a single point conducted. It was expressed historically in unknown areas, violence nowadays seems to manifest itself in a way that is regulated in our daily lives. In the construction of this work, research was carried out in the works of the authors in question, transposing and whose intention would be the construction of definitions, evaluating the convergences and divergences in their constructions, not losing sight of that the concept of violence is dynamic, contextual and plurivocal. The work exposes as one of its submissions, that power, as a basic instrument of the relationships established in social contact, establishes a relationship of denial and affirmation, approximation and distancing with violence, that is, it is present in the practice of the act of violence as an instigator of power and strength, and can be absent when associated with political practice, considering that violence is instituted through apolitical practices.
