Global Camp

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the scope of Agamben’s thesis that the camp is the “nomos” of the world we live in. The author asserts that Agamben’s argument in favour of consequentiality includes a call to radical revolutionary change of the world, but that Agamben is unable to utter the call since he has no clear notion of politics freed from law. Kurelić’s exposé is divided into three segments. In the first one, he focuses on Agamben’s disappointment with the corrupt “Free West”, especially with the problems that the winners in the Cold War are faced with. In Giorgio Agamben’s view, an example of a failed state is his native Italy. In the second segment, the author deals with the “global camp” conception and sets forth the narration in which the contemporary liberal democracy has become one of the incarnations of Leviathan. In the final segment, Kurelić draws a comparison between Agamben and Hannah Arendt, and points out the problems which result from Agamben’s understanding of state and politics. The author asserts that Agamben’s understanding of politics can offer no advice regarding political action.
