Il potere venerato per la sua impotenza: Pierre Clastres e l’(an)archeologia “selvaggia” del politico

Abstract

The Power venerated for its Impotence: Pierre Clastres and the “savage” (An)Archaeology of the Political The paper aims to analyse the crux of the reflection of the anthropologist Pierre Clastres within the discursive regime of late modernity: is a stateless society really conceivable? And the image of a non-coercive power that goes beyond the image of Western power as a connection between command and obedience? A journey within a splendid dream, that of the most mature anthropology, and a reflection that places us before a very particular answer to those that are the two fundamental questions of modernity: what is man and what is society.
