Resumen
Este artículo pretende analizar la particular relación de imbricación que Michel Foucault y Giorgio Agamben han venido a establecer entre la vida humana y el poder. A tal fin, se propone un recorrido por los dos momentos centrales de su producción que permiten dar cuenta de dicha imbricación: en el caso de Agamben, el referido a la investigación “homo sacer” y, en el de Foucault, el de su investigación en torno de la biopolítica como acontecimiento decisivo de la modernidad. Ambas investigaciones han redundado, entre otros aspectos, pero de manera central, en la configuración de la vida humana en su relación con el poder. En cada uno de los momentos elegidos en las producciones de los filósofos, se analizan las nociones centrales que componen cada investigación: nuda vida, “homo sacer”, estado de excepción y “oikonomía”, en el primer caso; y biopolítica y gubernamentalidad, en el segundo. Finalmente, se contrastan ambas formulaciones filosóficas a fin de sopesar los alcances y las potencialidades que implican frente al análisis que proponen. Este breve ejercicio de análisis sobre la relación entre la vida y el poder en los dos filósofos, pretende poner en evidencia los riesgos a los que nos exponen ciertos presupuestos frecuentes que fundamentan y dan sentido a las ideas y a las prácticas políticas contemporáneas.
This article attempts to analyze the particular relationship of the overlapping that Michel Foucaultand Giorgio Agamben have established between human life and power. Such that, it is proposed a travel across the two key moments of its production that allow to consider this overlapping: in the case of Agamben, the moment referring to the research “Homo sacer” and, for Foucault, that of his research concerning bio-politics as a decisive event of modernity. Both researches have reappeared, among other aspects, but mainly, in the configuration of human life and its relationship with power. At each of these chosen moments of the philosophers productions, it is analyzed the main notions that compose each research: bare life, “homo sacer”, state of exception and “oikonomics”, in the first moment, and biopolitics and governmentality, in the second one. Finally, both philosophical formulations are compared such that their reaching and potentialities can be weighted, for they contrast against the analysis they propose. This short analysis on the relationship between life and power in the two philosophers attempts to show the risks to which certain assumptions expose us. Such frequent assumptions support and yield a north to the contemporaneous ideas and political practices.
