Giorgio Agamben on Body - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 830 Body/AgambenVsFoucault/Agamben: While Foucault had still referred to the "bodies and lusts" as a possible antipole to power, Agamben calls for greater restraint. Brocker I 831 Agamben: the body has always been a biopolitical body and thus a naked life for him. Nor is it possible to restore classical political distinctions such as that between "zōḗ" and "bíos" and thus either attribute the biopolitical naked body to the sphere of "oîkos" or to overcome it in favour of a political body.(1) >Biopolitics, >M.
