Government and Economy as Dispositives of Inclusive Exclusion in Giorgio Agamben

Abstract

The article analyzes the relationship between exclusion and inclusion as product a logical continuum of the governmentality of contemporary societies. At first it is analyzed from the biopolitics and its ability to reach its reverse and reach its excess tanatopolitic and, even, necropolitic, without reaching the deep analysis of the last term as the goal is to decompose how inclusion and exclusion merge in conjugated processes, where the excluded is superincluded by operating a tanatopolitic founded on public policies of social inclusion. That is, to discover the functional biopolitical logic upon life. In a second moment, the relationship of citizenship with politics and economics is analyzed through the analytical process of Giorgio Agamben that goes from the state of exception, the naked life and the inclusive exclusion to the government as an economy or the economized policy.
