The Hyper-Hermeneutic Gesture of a Subtle Revolution

Frost, Tom (2011) The Hyper-Hermeneutic Gesture of a Subtle Revolution. . Critical Legal Thinking. (KAR id:102833)

Abstract

Drawing upon the thought of Giorgio Agamben, this paper focuses upon the potential of a single act to change a political order. Agamben’s writings on the exception and the figure of whatever-being retain the possibility for a paradigmatic gesture that opens up a space for a politics not founded on a form of belonging grounded in a particular property or substance, such as national identity, race or religion.
