Form-of-life -- Beyond human rights -- What is a people? -- What is camp? -- Notes on gesture -- Languages and peoples --Marginal notes on commentaries on the society of the spectacle -- The face -- Sovereign police -- Notes on politics -- In this exile (Italian diary, 1992-94)
In this critical rethinking of the categories of politics within a new sociopolitical and historical context, the distinguished political philosopher Giorgio Agamben builds on his previous work to address the status and nature of politics itself. Bringing politics face-to-face with its own failures of consciousness and consequence, Agamben frames his analysis in terms of clear contemporary relevance. He proposes, in his characteristically allusive and intriguing way, a politics of gesture--a politics of means without end
