"Cuando intentes hablas, recuerda que no puedes servirte de algunas palabras gratas al oído: libertad, progreso, Estado de derecho, democracia, derechos del hombre... Tendrás que describir lo intolerable sin tener nada para salir de ello." Tan exigente es la despiadada lucidez con la que Giorgio Agamben se mide con nuestro universo político. Mas la fidelidad a ese silencio es también fidelidad rigurosa al tiempo-acontecimiento en que se inscriben y se juegan nuestras vidas, a esa región opaca en que lo público y lo privado, el cuerpo biológico y el cuerpo político son ya indiscernibles. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I am coming more and more to appreciate this perspective - though better to extend Agamben's definition also to fiction. Abandoning, unfortunately, the concept of the 'final book' - Rescuing Thomas Bernhard from the compost heap...
The essays of the first and third sections border on plagiarism - frequently composed of direct quotation of earlier sections of the Homo Sacer project (how else would Agamben and Zizek sustain their productivity in the competitive environment of the pop-culture-intellectual) - therefore not much worth reading except as summary/review for one who has progressed this deeply into the oeuvre. Yet, as always, Agamben appears pellucid-correct, at least in the essays of the middle section on Gesture as Gag - though, characteristically, both over-extending himself and not coming far enough: the Word is also a gag - there is more to be said of image/film.
ON GESTURE:
THE FACE: INTERSECTION WITH ART; idea for portraiture (face: eyes and mouth vs nose and ears); cinema (gesture: element of awakening)
AGAMBEN JOINS THE DESPISERS OF GRIMACE:
Visuddhimagga of the Theravada Canon: "One who has the habit of making grimaces is a grimacer. The grimacer's state is grimacery. - improper mode of bearing
Adorno and Horkheimer: The grimace is a lie because it admits too readily the complaint
Agamben: "it has nothing to express— thus withdrawing silently behind itself — it turns into a grimace, which is what one calls character."- making communicability into a character
