Summary/Abstract: My aim is to analyse the central concepts of Agambenian philosophy, with the help of new waves of interpretation (e.g. Watkin, Zartaloudis and Long Chu): signature, indifference, (im)potentiality (in confrontation with Deleuzian virtuality) and zone of indistinction. This paper is also an attempt to shed a new light on Agambenian theory of power through the analysis of sovereignty, bare life and biopower from a strictly conceptual point of view, that is to say by taking into consideration the ontological basis of Agambenian political philosophy and philosophy of law. A conceptual-methodological approach would perhaps make it possible to get rid of the usual accusations at the expense of Agamben’s philosophy, with a special emphasis on the question of resistance. The central question of this paper is: what makes power operative?
