Este articulo se propone realizar un acercamiento al pensamiento de Giorgio Agamben tomando como eje central las reflexiones del filosofo italiano en torno a lo politico. La exposicion se estructura en tres grandes apartados a los que se anaden, para finalizar, algunas consideraciones criticas. En primer termino, se reconstruye la linea de razonamiento principal de Agamben en torno al funcionamiento del poder soberano. A continuacion, se examinan algunas figuras subjetivas que el autor propone con vistas a poner freno a la maquinaria tanatopolitica que identifica con el poder soberano; entre ellas prestaremos especial atencion a la figura de Bartleby. En un tercer y ultimo momento, brindaremos una aproximacion a lo politico a partir de la idea de potencia; alli vincularemos la politica de la potencia con la nocion de inoperancia para posteriormente, siguiendo las tesis de Galindo Hervas, indicar por que Agamben puede ser caracterizado como un pensador impolitico y realizar algunos cuestionamientos a dicha posicion. Abstract This article approaches Giorgio Agamben’s thought taking as a central axis the reflections of the Italian philosopher about the political. In the first place, we reconstruct Agamben’s main arguments regarding the functioning of the sovereign power. Next, we examine some of the subjective figures proposed by the author to restrain the tanatopolitical machinery that he identifies with the sovereign power; among them we will pay special attention to the figure of Bartleby. Thirdly, we will provide an approximation to the political based on the notion of ‘potential’ and its relations with the idea of inoperosity. Following the theses of Galindo Hervas, we will indicate why Agamben can be characterized as an impolitical thinker, to finish with a critical appraisal of his position.
