Four fundamental concepts in the philosophy of G. Agamben

the machine, the bando, the homo sacer and the field

Abstract

From the question about where, in the body of power, techniques of individualization and totalizing procedures touch, the article explains the notions of bando, homo sacer and machine according to G. Agamben. There is, therefore, a center in which the double political link finds its raison d'être, namely the inflection between sovereignty and government that the governmental machine - a concept that is also explained - produces, and which consists in that if the exception makes possible sovereignty to intervene over government, glory makes it possible for government to articulate itself with sovereignty.

Keywords: Agamben; Machine; Homo sacer; Bando; Field.
