» LAW, VIOLENCE AND LENGUAGE. NOTES ON “CRITIQUE OF VIOLENCE” BY WALTER BENJAMIN
By Jorge Roggero

Sumary

“Critique of violence” by Walter Benjamin has become a crucial text to understand some of the main lines of thought of the current discussion on political and legal philosophy, particularly, on the biopolitical issue. This article presents an analysis of the essay based on the examination of the three key concepts of Benjamin’s approach: the notions of law, violence and lenguage, and the particular way in which they interrelate under a “divine violence” concept.

Key words

Law - Violence - Lenguage - Divine violence
