Title: | Biocriminality and the borders of public order | Authors: | Pérez Navarro, Pablo | Keywords: | Public Order; Homonationalism; Biopolitics; Monogamy; Friendship | Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | Centre for Philosophy at the University of Lisbon | Project: | info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/338452/EU/Citizenship, Care and Choice: The Micropolitics of Intimacy in Southern Europe | Serial title, monograph or event: | Questioning the Oneness of Philosophy | Place of publication or event: | Lisbon | Abstract: | In this presentation, I aim at exploring the notion of public order from a biopolitical point of view. It draws on the analysis of the state of exception by Giorgio Agamben, through which he studied the tendency of Western democracies to re-produce forms of sovereign power that bypass parliamentary democratic control. Departing from his analysis, I will argue that public order is one of the main forms through which these forms of sovereign power disseminate in a microphysical form, in almost every instance of the judicial system. Moreover, in a similar vein that the state of exception represents, for Agamben, a crucial dimension of the relation between the order of life and the order of the law, public order represents, in my view, a fundamental dispositive through which biopower regulates the social life of gender, sexuality, reproduction and kinship. | Description: | 4th Workshop of the Project Experimentation and Dissidence | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/86983 | ISBN: | 9789898553485 | Rights: | openAccess |
