In a complementary manner, it intends also to evaluate if the own latin american history represents an incentive to researchers of different knowledge's areas get help in the Agamben's teachings, in reason to a convergency of theories (Homo Sacer, State of Exception, bare life, biopolitic, camp, etc) and facts (colonization, dictatorial regimes, violence state, etc.). At the end, original manners to enrich reasonings and debates about important social political problems will also be evaluated, using, for that, concepts developed by Giorgio Agamben, writer that, necessary to register, owns a theoretical framework rich, dense, sometimes complex, but, first off all, quite appropriate to face actual questions related to the natural tension between the State and the Individual and, therefore, related to the own life. / A proposta inicial desta dissertação concentra-se, principalmente, na procura de indicativos de que a obra do escritor italiano Giorgio Agamben influencie de maneira significativa a literatura político acadêmica produzida na América Latina. De modo complementar, pretendese avaliar também se a própria história latino americana representa um incentivo para que pesquisadores de diferentes áreas do conhecimento recorram aos ensinamentos de Agamben em razão de uma convergência entre teorias (Homo Sacer, estado de exceção, vida nua, biopolítica, campo, etc) e fatos (colonização, regimes ditatoriais, violência estatal, etc). Por fim, serão avaliadas também maneiras originais de enriquecimento de raciocínios e debates elaborados sobre importantes problemas sociopolíticos, utilizando, para tanto, conceitos desenvolvidos por Giorgio Agamben, autor que, necessário registrar, possui um arcabouço teórico rico, denso, algumas vezes complexo, mas, acima de tudo, sobremodo apropriado para o enfrentamento de questões atuais e relacionadas à tensão natural entre o Estado e o indivíduo e, portanto, à própria vida.

My thesis focuses on reproductive politics of (un)democratic Czechoslovakia, namely on the discursive construction of abortion as presented in the scientific and political discourses in the 20's and 50's. The aim is to compare the discourses and track the genealogy of control and regulation of women's bodies as biopolitical spaces within the Czechoslovakian nation. The text uses theories of G. Agamben, M. Foucault and R. Miller which deprive from the classical/juridical model of sovereignty and rights and offer a biopolitical one instead. Using this perspective the text tries to answer whether there is a difference between scientific and political discourses of so-called democracy and communism. That is, whether by putting the abortion into the center it is possible to speak about democracy and communism as if they were two different and mutually exclusive systems. Through the lenses of poststructuralist feminist analysis the thesis tries to doubt the binaries of "communism" - "democracy", "East" - "West", in which democracy always signals the good and communism evil. Analysing the discourses surrounding the enactment of 1957 law the text also ponders whether it is possible to read the law as a typical communist product, implanted by someone from the outside.

瑪格麗特‧愛特伍的《瘋狂亞當三部曲》描繪了當代讀者所熟悉的世界: 一個受新自由主義浪潮席捲的社會。當政府權力被龐大財團架空，自由國家的民主核心價值早已崩解。 本篇論文的論點延伸自Chris Vials 的文章，並試圖以新自由主義統治論述來解釋小說中民主與極權融為一體的情況。第一章解釋新經濟思維使個人與社會產生疏離，以統治極端分化的社會階層。第二章則闡述小說中的國家已陷入例外狀態，法律受到懸置，而圍牆的設立強化了排除生命的機制並且產生 “裸命”。在最後的章節將探討上帝的園丁會 “生命-形式” 的革命以及《瘋狂亞當》的主角澤伯所展現的 “無身份” 抵抗的可能性。 如同書中角色，身處於當代的讀者正受到這股 “未來的浪潮” 推進向前卻同時又受到過去的夢靨所困。世界大戰、猶太人集中營不只是已過去的歷史事實，他們以不同形式再現且縈繞不去。如何撿拾過去的傷痛與錯誤，承接死去之人的意志正是我們必須肩負的責任。 / In Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy, the author imagines a near future that is too familiar for the reader who live in the contemporary period, a neoliberal society. Through the depiction of a hollowed-out nation replaced by a giant consortium, she lays bare a truth that democracy is going to collapse. Based on Chris Vials’ article, “Margaret Atwood’s Dystopic Fiction and the Contradictions of Neoliberal Freedom,” this thesis furthers to elaborate the integration of democratic regime and totalitarianism by discourse of neoliberal governance: the neoliberal rationality alienates individuals, uniting the divided social stratifications. In the second part, I suggest that the nation falls into an anarchy since it has already entered into a state of exception, which gives rise to “bare life.” The exclusion mechanism is represented by the construction of “the Walls.” The third chapter aims to discuss the possibility of resisting the new form of sovereign power in practice of the God’s Gardeners about how to live “form-of-life” and politics of “(non)-identity” deployed by Zeb, the protagonist of MaddAddam. Like the characters, we stand in the intersection of the “Wave of future” and the recurring nightmare in the past. Global wars and concentration camp are not only historical facts but recurring events. It is our responsibility to recall the memory, remember the pain, and inherit the will of the dead.
