Abstract

CASTRO, Edgardo. Derecho y vida: un contrapunto entre Michel Foucault y Giorgio Agamben. Tópicos [online]. 2021, n.41, pp.19-42. ISSN 1666-485X.

From the perspective of the criticism of Foucaultian antijuridicism presented by Giorgio Agamben in Homo sacer, in this paper we address the question of law and its relation to life in the genealogy of modern political rationality, developed in the courses of Michel Foucault in the Collège de France from the years 1978-1979. Our goal is to show the modalities that this relationship adopts through the concepts of marginalistic integration and political utilitarianism, permanent coup d’état and heterogeneity of legal forms. From these notions, we also propose a confrontation with the reading made by Agamben.

Keywords : Marginalistic integration; political utilitarianism; Biopolitics; Tanatopolitics; juridical forms.
