Una forma inaudita di resistenza. Agamben e il paradigma come strumento di analisi archeologica

Abstract

This paper will investigate the Agambenean instrument of the paradigm, starting from thecriticisms Agamben received for his paradigmatic use of the concentration camp of Auschwitz. I will clarify the analytic and logical structure of the paradigm, and then I will explain its potentiality in an ontological criticism of the sovereign and biopolitical nature of Occidental thought and politics, and of the exceptional structure of the Occidental metaphysics.
