A PRODUÇÃO DA VIDA NUA NO ESTADO DE GUERRA GLOBAL / THE PRODUCTION OF NAKED LIFE IN THE STATE OF GLOBAL WAR

Abstract

The paper analyses the biopolitical boundaries of the fight against terrorism in the global war environment. The Biopolitics is presented as the movement through which natural human life is implicated in the ways and calculations of the power. In this perspective, it is the study of the Biopolitics that makes it possible to understand the motives by which the contemporary man finds himself exposed to an unprecedented violence that allows to talk about a level of no distinction between right and violence, once the state of exception changes into a dominant paradigm of politics. The homo sacer is presented as allegorical, in order to understand such an atypical space, i. e., an environment in which the element excluded from the general norm is not, because of that, absolutely out of relation with it, but is kept in relation to the mentioned norm as a form of suspension: the norm applies to the exception by disapplying itself.
