Giorgio Agamben, state of war, the peace, the war

The war and the peace

BY: Giorgio Agamben* Translation BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - It is necessary to take seriously the thesis, repeated several times by governments, according to which humanity and every country are currently in a state of war.

The bond between the powers of government and the war is, however, more intimate and consubstantial. The fact is that war is something they cannot in any way permanently do without. In…

A vision on the future

Interview with Paolo Mauri BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - The dossiers open on Joe Biden's desk are not only those of his newborn administration but also and above all those he inherited from those who preceded him, who is not the only Donald Trump. In fact, there are specific political lines that change little from administration to administration and that reflect the interests of the American establishment and its vision of the world. In the modern era it is the world that is the scene of the action of a Super Power like the United States of America but there…
