Means Without End An essential reevaluation of the proper role of politics in contemporary life. In this critical rethinking of the categories of politics within a new sociopolitical bodytalk gesture human meaning and historical context, the distinguished political philosopher Giorgio Agamben builds on his previous work to address the status bodytalk gesture human meaning and nature of politics itself. Bringing politics face-to-face with its own failures of consciousness bodytalk gesture human meaning and consequence, Agamben frames his analysis in terms of clear contemporary relevance. He proposes, in his characteristically allusive bodytalk gesture human meaning and intriguing way, a politics of gesture-a politics of means without end. Among the topics Agamben takes up are the properly political paradigms of experience, as well as those generally not viewed as political. He begins by elaborating work on biopower begun by Foucault, returning the natural life of humans to the center of the polis bodytalk gesture human meaning and considering it as the very basis for politics. He then considers subjects such as the state of exception (the temporary suspension of the juridical order); the concentration camp (a zone of indifference between public bodytalk gesture human meaning and private and, at the same time, the secret matrix of the political space in which we live); the refugee, who, breaking the bond between the human bodytalk gesture human meaning and the citizen, moves from marginal status to the center of the crisis of the modern nation-state; bodytalk gesture human meaning and the sphere of pure means or gestures (those gestures that, remaining nothing more than means, liberate themselves from any relation to ends) as the proper sphere of politics. Attentive to the urgent demands of the political moment, as well as to the bankruptcy of political discourse, Agamben's work brings politics back to life, bodytalk gesture human meaning and life back to politics.
