摘要
"神圣人"是古罗马法中一种因罪而被排斥到政治共同体之外,可被任何人杀死的人物。阿甘本将"神圣人"这种时刻暴露在死亡威胁下的生命称之为赤裸生命,并认为其是主权权力建构政治共同体时必须加以排斥的基本要素。从这一角度出发,阿甘本分析了现代民族国家生命政治中鉴别和处置赤裸生命的机制:一方面通过民族与公民的区分驱逐难民;另一方面通过将例外状态作为日常治理的范式不断在普通公民中制造新的赤裸生命。由此,阿甘本认为集中营是现代政治治理中的典型空间,展示了主权权力对赤裸生命的无限暴力。
"Homo Sacer"was a kind of person in ancient Roman law who was excluded from the political community for a crime and could be killed by anyone.Agamben regards the life of"homo sacer,"which is exposed to the threat of death,as bare life,and considers it as the basic element to be excluded in the construction of political community by sovereign power.From this point of view,Agamben analyzes the mechanism of identifying and disposing bare life in the biopolitics of modern nation state:on one hand,it expels the refugee through the separation between nationality and citizenship;on the other,by using the state of exception as the paradigm for daily governance,it continually creates new bare life among citizens.Thus,Agamben believes that the concentration camp is a typical space in modern political governance,which exposes the infinite violence of sovereign power to bare life.
