PELLER, Mariela. Subjetividad, potencia y política: Reflexiones a partir de Medios sin fin de Giorgio Agamben. Argumentos (Méx.) [online]. 2009, vol.22, n.60, pp.41-56. ISSN 0187-5795.

This essay thinks about Means without end. Notes on politics of Giorgio Agamben (1996). In this book and in his work in general, the philosopher proposes to rethink all the categories of the political western tradition. Departing from this point, the present essay examines the possibilities that Agamben postulates to think politics in the actual moment. First, it presents Agamben's reading of the political contemporary conditions. Then, it analyzes three fundamental points of that author's philosophy that allow us to think on the future of politics: 1) the problem of identities and subjectivity; 2) the possibility of a not instrumental logic of politics; 3) the problematic of the thought. Finally, the essay refers to the central place that occupies the category of potency in Agamben's theory and to the possibilities that this notion open, considering a new community and renewed political forms.

Palabras llave : Subjectivity; identity; politics; potency; Agamben.
