O Processo, em Kafka e Welles : exceção e inação

Bueno, Kim Amaral January 2011 (has links)
A análise comparativa entre o romance de Franz Kafka, O processo, e o filme homônimo de Orson Welles pretende compreender de que maneira a obra cinematográfica transcria o universo kafkiano, levando à tela cinematográfica o tempo, o espaço e o protagonista, a partir do hipotexto literário. As estratégias narrativas empregadas na produção da película problematizam a posição do narrador, onisciente no romance, mas que, no filme, salvo as evidentes diferenças narratológicas inerentes aos códigos, é produzido através de um “jogo de vozes”, partindo da parábola “Diante da Lei”, utilizada no incipit fílmico. O tempo e o espaço são configurados mantendo os traços “expressionistas” de Kafka, produzindo zonas de indeterminação temporais e topológicas que corroboram a inação do protagonista. O conceito de “estado de exceção”, esboçado por Giorgio Agamben, permite pensar que a origem do processo movido contra Josef K., de desconhecidas motivações, reside num poder de domínio e controle que antecede a própria lei. A aproximação do protagonista de Kafka e de Welles à figura do homo sacer é possível tanto pelo estatuto da ação que ele exerce em função da necessidade de defesa (o que caracteriza a sua inação, uma vez que não há “progressão”, a despeito das suas tentativas de produzir uma primeira petição de defesa), quanto das “deformidades” que o caracterizam, incorporando-o ao bando das personagens “monstruosamente” híbridas de Kafka. Porém, a “deformidade” que marca K. e o exclui da comunidade regida pelo ordenamento legal não está aparente, mas age biologicamente, estabelecendo um secreto mecanismo de controle cujo poder de decisão age sobre a orgânica morte, a extirpação de uma vida simplesmente “matável e insacrificável”. / The comparative analysis between the novel of Franz Kafka, The Trial, and the homonym movie of Orson Welles intends to understand how the cinematographic workmanship used to transcribe the kafkian universe, taking to the cinematographic screen the time, the space and the protagonist from literary hipotext. The narrative strategies used in the production of the film problematize the position of the narrator, omniscient in the romance, but that, in the film (except for the evident narratological differences inherent to the codes), it is produced through a “game of voices”, coming from the parabola “Before the Law”, used in the filmic incipit. The time and the space are configured keeping “the expressionists” traces of Kafka, producing secular and topological zones of indetermination that corroborate the inaction of the protagonist. The concept of “exception state”, sketched for Giorgio Agamben, allows us to think that the origin of the process moved against Josef K, of unknown motivations, inhabits in a power of domain and control that precedes the proper law. The approach of the protagonist of Kafka and Welles to the figure of homo sacer is possible as much for the statute of the action that it exerts in function of the defense necessity (which characterizes its inaction, a time that does not have “progression”, in the spite of its attempts to produce a first petition of defense), how much of the “deformities” that characterize it, incorporating it to the flock of the “monstrously” hybrid personages “of Kafka. However, the “deformity” that marks K. and excludes it from the community conducted for the legal order is not apparent, but it acts biologically, establishing a private mechanism of control which power of decision falls again on the organic death, the extirpation of a simply “killable and unsacrifiable” life.

O que resta da identidade entre biopolítica e tanatopolítica em Giorgio Agamben

Para tanto, adentrar-se-á, inicialmente, nas reflexões do primeiro grande expoente dessa perspectiva, Michel Foucault, já que este repropõe o termo biopolítica de modo a direcioná-la para uma nova compreensão e crítica da modernidade e do poder. Posteriormente, tratar-se-á da reflexão agambeniana acerca do estado de exceção e do seu vínculo com o poder soberano. Estes, para o autor, se fundam, necessariamente, em um paradoxo, porquanto pressupõem a existência de uma figura (o soberano) interna e, ao mesmo tempo, externa à própria ordem na qual se encontra. O objetivo do percurso aqui realizado é mostrar como Agamben faz convergir os dois modelos de análise do poder, isto é, o da biopolítica e o jurídico-político, este último evitado por Foucault. Antes, porém, será necessário desenvolver os conceitos de zoé, bíos e vida nua, e apresentar duas figuras do direito arcaico, o homo sacere o bando, à medida que marcam, para o autor, o lado inverso do mesmo paradoxo fundamental, ou seja, o lado sob o qual o poder soberano investe sua violência. O profícuo debate entre Carl Schmitt e Walter Benjamin apresentará outros pressupostos da teoria da soberania de Agamben, no que tange à questão da violência e da exceção soberana, igualmente fundamental para o desenvolvimento da perspectiva biopolítica do filósofo italiano. Esses conceitos, dentre outros, constituem, para Agamben, elementos originários da política ocidental que marcam a premência da sua tese da contiguidade e paralelismo entre soberania e biopoder. Tudo isso permitirá compreender a transformação da biopolítica em seu desdobramento, decorrido desde o século passado, no que se convencionou chamar d e “tanatopolítica”, na qual se encontram práticas como a eutanásia e o extermínio em massa realizado nos campos de concentração. Os grandes regimes totalitários do século XX, segundo Agamben, só podem ser compreendidos adequadamente, e em toda a sua complexidade, a partir da perspectiva que tem como ponto de partida algo como o conceito de vida nua. Antes, porém, deve-se observar a reflexão de Hannah Arendt acerca da relação entre direito e nacionalidade, sobre a qual Agamben faz uma leitura específica e, por assim dizer, biopolítica. O nexo essencial entre nascimento e nação faz emergir, para ambos os autores, tanto os Direitos Humanos como os Campos, ambos considerados cifras da realização do biopoder. O trabalho encerrará com a reflexão conclusiva de Agamben sobre o que significa, para a ordem política contemporânea, a existência dos campos.

The In-Visible : Life as an IDU with HIV in Romania

Zavatti, Georgia Cristiana January 2022 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to present the situation of the intravenous drug-users (IDUs) living with HIV in Romania, with a focus on Bucharest. The study follows the IDUs experiences from the environment they live in, to the day-to-day examples of structural violence they face. The questions followed regard the lives of the IDUs in Romania, as well as how they are handled by various authorities and institutions’ representatives such as medical staff in hospitals, the national healthcare system, social workers, law enforcement representatives and other public servants. The fieldwork was conducted around Bucharest through the use of observation while volunteering on outreach with an NGO, and interviews in the form of life histories in a hospital, as research methods. The thesis offers a background look at the communist and transition periods that influenced everyday life in today’s Romania. I argue that because of the stigma attached to them for being part of risk groups, the IDUs face many different forms of structural violence. Whether it comes to governmental authorities, law enforcement or medical staff, the IDUs, as well as other vulnerable risk group members, are continuously pushed outside of society through various measures. This creates a continuous state of isolation from which they cannot remove themselves without outsider help.

O extermínio na história do regime político brasileiro (1964- 2014): uma leitura biopolítica a partir de Giorgio Agamben

Our problem question can be formulated as follows: Is there a continuity of authoritarian policies in Brazil, after so many years of dictatorship, in relation to those excluded by the system? Those who are life-killing, but not sacrificable, through extermination as a paradigm of contemporary government? In this way, we start from the hypothesis that the Brazilian military regime, terminated in 1985, based on the National Security Doctrine and the biopolitical management of the Brazilian government historically considered, together with the practices still present, fifty years after the beginning that regime and three decades after its completion are reflected in a camp’s form as a modern biopolitical paradigm on the indolent and useless bodies of society, notably the poor and opponents of the regime. This hypothesis are supported by adaptive interpretation from the contributions of Homo Sacer, State of Exception, articles and interviews of Giorgio Agamben, into previous readings to the research, perceive the existence of traces of this theory that can be applied to Brazil: the existence of the camp as a modern biopolitical paradigm; the torture, extermination and enforced disappearance persisting’s practices; and, a true regime of permanent exception, with determinable time and space, on the population possibly converted as homini sacri. Therefore, the present dissertation will use a deductive approach methodology, together with a historicalcomparative procedure method and a bibliographic research technique to explain the current Brazilian situation. The organization of this work will be in three chapters: first, we determine the assumptions present in this work, presenting the Brazilian historicalpolitical antecedents’, the biopolitical archeology of the contemporary state and the agambenian conceptual discussions of homo sacer, camp, biopolitics and permanent exception. Next, we seek a definition of forced disappearance and extermination between the various key-concepts close to it, and delimit the practice and theory of dictatorship and democracy in relation to our key concepts. In the last part, we present the Brazilian biopolitical governance paradigm, the place of Agambenian camp execution and permanent extermination and the confrontations and uncertainties about the life-that-canbe- killed in Brazil. The objective is to present the historical-philosophical assumptions of the Military Dictatorship to the Six Republic, the institutional approach of homo sacer in the Brazilian State and the challenges and threats to democratic consolidation in Brazil. It concludes by confirming the hypothesis, partially to the focused period, converging the previous historical practice to the military regime for the analyzed period, at the same time that it points out ways and difficulties in the probability of expansion of this extermination. / Nesta dissertação, nosso objeto de pesquisa está centrado numa leitura biopolítica da histórica brasileira, a partir dos aportes de Giorgio Agamben, sob a forma de extermínio, especialmente consolidado após o último regime militar brasileiro de 1964 naquilo em que permanece no regime democrático atual, em 2014. A nossa pergunta-problema pode ser assim formulada: Há de se falar de uma continuidade das políticas autoritárias do Brasil, passados tantos anos da ditadura, em relação a aqueles excluídos pelo sistema, aqueles que são vida matável impunemente, através do extermínio como paradigma de governo contemporâneo? Desta forma, partimos da hipótese que o regime militar brasileiro, encerrado em 1985, tendo por base teórica a Doutrina de Segurança Nacional e da histórica gestão biopolítica brasileira, em conjunto com as práticas ainda presentes, cinquenta anos depois do início daquele regime e três décadas após o seu término se refletem em uma forma de campo como paradigma biopolítico moderno sobre os corpos indóceis e inúteis da sociedade, destacadamente os pobres e opositores ao regime. Essa hipótese alicerça-se na interpretação adaptativa a partir dos aportes das obras Homo Sacer, Estado de Exceção, artigos e entrevistas de Giorgio Agamben, parte destas leituras prévias à pesquisa, percebendo a existência de traços desta teoria que podem ser aplicados ao Brasil: a existência do campo como paradigma biopolítico moderno; a persistência de práticas de tortura, de extermínio e desaparecimento forçado; e, um verdadeiro regime de exceção permanente, com tempo e espaço determináveis, sobre a população potencialmente convertida como homini sacri. Para tanto, a presente dissertação utilizou de uma metodologia de abordagem dedutivo, em conjunto com um método de procedimento histórico-comparativo e com técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica para explicitar a situação atual brasileira. A organização deste trabalho se dará em três capítulos: primeiramente determinamos os pressupostos presentes neste trabalho, apresentando os antecedentes histórico-políticos brasileiro, a arqueologia biopolítica do Estado contemporâneo e as discussões conceituais agambenianas de homo sacer, campo, biopolítica e de exceção permanente. Em seguida, buscamos uma definição de desaparecimento forçado e extermínio entre os vários conceitos próximos a este e delimitamos a prática e a teoria da ditadura e da democracia em relação aos nossos conceitos-chave. Na última parte, expomos o paradigma de governo biopolítico brasileiro, o local do campo agambeniano de extermínio e os enfrentamentos e as incertezas sobre a vida matável no Brasil. Objetiva-se, assim, apresentar os pressupostos histórico-filosóficos da Ditadura Militar à Sexta República, a abordagem institucional do homo sacer no Estado Brasileiro e desafios e as ameaças a consolidação democrática no Brasil. Conclui-se pela confirmação da hipótese, parcialmente ao período enfocado, confluindo a prática histórica anterior ao regime militar para o período analisado, ao mesmo tempo que aponta caminhos e dificuldades frente a probabilidade de expansão desse extermínio.

The emergence and development of the sentient zombie : zombie monstrosity in postmodern and posthuman Gothic

Gardner, Kelly January 2015 (has links)
The zombie narrative has seen an increasing trend towards the emergence of a zombie sentience. The intention of this thesis is to examine the cultural framework that has informed the contemporary figure of the zombie, with specific attention directed towards the role of the thinking, conscious or sentient zombie. This examination will include an exploration of the zombie’s folkloric origin, prior to the naming of the figure in 1819, as well as the Haitian appropriation and reproduction of the figure as a representation of Haitian identity. The destructive nature of the zombie, this thesis argues, sees itself intrinsically linked to the notion of apocalypse; however, through a consideration of Frank Kermode’s A Sense of an Ending, the second chapter of this thesis will propose that the zombie need not represent an apocalypse that brings devastation upon humanity, but rather one that functions to alter perceptions of ‘humanity’ itself. The third chapter of this thesis explores the use of the term “braaaaiiinnss” as the epitomised zombie voice in the figure’s development as an effective threat within zombie-themed videogames. The use of an epitomised zombie voice, I argue, results in the potential for the embodiment of a zombie subject. Chapter Four explores the development of this embodied zombie subject through the introduction of the Zombie Memoire narrative and examines the figure as a representation of Agamben’s Homo Sacer or ‘bare life’: though often configured as a non-sacrificial object that can be annihilated without sacrifice and consequence, the zombie, I argue, is also paradoxically inscribed in a different, Girardian economy of death that renders it as the scapegoat to the construction of a sense of the ‘human’. The final chapter of this thesis argues that both the traditional zombie and the sentient zombie function within the realm of a posthuman potentiality, one that, to varying degrees of success, attempts to progress past the restrictive binaries constructed within the overruling discourse of humanism. In conclusion, this thesis argues that while the zombie, both traditional and sentient, attempts to propose a necessary move towards a posthuman universalism, this move can only be considered if the ‘us’ of humanism embraces the potential of its own alterity.

Jus Gentium & the Arab as Muselmänner: The “Islamist Winter” is the Pre-Emptive (Creative) Chaos of the “Arab Spring” Multiplying Necropolises / JUS GENTIUM & THE ARAB AS MUSELMÄNNER

Al-Kassimi, Khaled January 2020 (has links)
While the (re)conquest of Arabia as manifest in 2003 Iraq, and 2006 Lebanon, were respectively Act I and II accenting sovereign figures exercising necropower by adjudicating (il)legal doctrines (i.e., pre-emptive defense strategy) legalizing extrajudicial techniques of violence founded on discursive technologies of racism, I argue that the “Islamist Winter” – temporarily dubbed the “Arab Spring” in 2011 – is Act III reifying similar legal doctrines (i.e., Bethlehem Legal Principles) and a (secular) linear temporal perception of time seeking to implement a New Middle East (NME) that is no longer “resistant to Latin-European modernity” but amenable to such inclusive exclusion historicist telos. The importance of “creative anarchy” as a positivist legal technique in producing chaotic developments such as carnage and a “crisis” or “emergency” of displacement – with sovereign members of jus gentium authorizing agents of terror (i.e., death squads/war-machines) – is that it reveals the deadly technologies of racism and relations of enmity inherent in sovereignty as a positivist juridical concept endowing sovereign figures with the power to formulate legal doctrines that ultimately subjugate Arab life to the power of death (necropower). Therefore, one of the main questions orbiting the writing of this dissertation is interested in deconstructing and critiquing jus gentium – by adopting a Third World Approach to International Law (TWAIL) in tandem with necropolitics and biopolitics as paradigms of analysis – to disclose that it is because jus gentium valorizes positivist jurisprudent scholastics postulating an unbridgeable cultural gap between an Athenian mode of Being as a universal sovereign subject, and a Madīnian mode of Being as the particular object denied sovereignty, that leads ratiocinative sovereign figures to legally exercise necropower on the Arab body. Therefore, the following chapters seek to go beyond the limited (post-colonial) idea asserting that the problem with international law is that it is primarily “Eurocentric” since the simple solution to such a claim would be to include the non-European body in International Law. Rather, the primary question constellating this monograph is: what are the experienced consequences of being temporally included and what are the experienced consequences of being temporally excluded from a legal regime (i.e., jus gentium) reifying a Latin-European philosophical theology universalizing a particular set of liberal-secular cultural mores as a “cultural benchmark” (i.e., purity-metric) in order to be-come imagined as temporally “inside” jus gentium? / Thesis / Doctor of Social Science

Dismemberment and dispossession in the work of Quentin Tarantino and Nathalie Djurberg

Terblanche, Catherine 11 1900 (has links)
Text in English / This study aims to apply the biopolitical theories of Giorgio Agamben on homo sacer to the stereotypical representation of the violent woman. Using feminist methodologies for dismantling and exposing social stereotypes, this research explores the relationship between femininity, violence and the representation of these. By focussing on the influence of traditional narratives as found in ancient mythology and fairy tales, the study investigates the contemporary portrayal of the stereotypical violent woman using acts of dismemberment and dispossession in the work of Quentin Tarantino and Nathalie Djurberg, which serve as examples of the controversial relationship between real and filmic violence. / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.A. (Art History)

Three Eras of Citizen-Rights in Canada: An Interpretation of the Relationship Between Citizen-Rights and Executive Power

Tsuji, Kathleen Elizabeth 21 August 2013 (has links)
In Canada’s recent history, the cases of Kanao Inouye, Omar Khadr, and Maher Arar shed light on the relationship between citizen-rights and sovereign power, a problem which this thesis studies through its three-pronged strategy of analysis. First, it takes a postmetaphysical approach to the problem of exceptionality as it has been explored in the works of Jacques Derrida, Gianni Vattimo, and Reiner Schürmann. Their responses to the problem of exceptionality provide a framework that enables this thesis to capture the relationship between citizen-rights and sovereign power in relative detail. Second, it applies Schürmann’s epochal theory in order to offer a historical periodization of citizen-rights in Canada that highlights the effect of sovereign power on citizen-rights. Lastly, in light of its philosophical and theoretical framework, it interprets the Inouye, Khadr, Arar cases in order to account for the effect of Charter rights on sovereign power. / Graduate / 0626 / tsujikt@gmail.com
