RT Article T1 Sobre o paradigma do homo sacer: o sagrado, a culpa e o testemunho na ótica de Giorgio Agamben = On the homo sacer paradigm : the sacred, guilt and testimony under the perspective of Giorgio Agamben JF Numen VO 23 IS 2 SP 216 OP 235 A1 Almeida, Patrícia Aparecida de A1 Barsalini, Glauco LA Portuguese PB UFJF YR 2020 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1777457300 AB This article exposes the meaning that contemporary thinker Giorgio Agamben gives to the terms “sacred” and “testimony”, as well as the debate he promotes about the concept of “guilt”, which are articulated, within the scope of his methodology - archaeological-genealogical - with the homo sacer paradigm (also identified with the figure of the refugee). Through the “archeology of the sacred man”, Agamben evidences the political function that sacredness attributes to life, which, in the epistemological field, instigates reflection and argumentation about the concepts and conceptions that were consolidated on the western tradition and, in the sociological dimension, offers dense theoretical contribution to reflect on growing problems in the present time, especially the exclusion and extermination of human beings.
