Permanent State of Exception: the camp and the biopolitics experience

Abstract

This article concisely presents the concept of camp and how this was an absolute biopolitical space. The relationship between the permanent state of exception (the camp ) and biopolitics was presented from the work of Giorgio Agamben. It was concluded that the camp was an absolute biopolitical space, because in this space, the biopolitics caesuras didn't affect the politicized zoé , but upon the bare life that couldn't be anymore included in the legal system. Understanding the structure of the camp , we can strengthen our fight against the existing spaces of exception in the democracies.
