Biopolitica y zoopolitica

Abstract

The biopolitical question can be understand as a radical query about the relationships between the animal and the human condition. The link between politics and life is based, in fact, on the prior link between bíos and zoé. The zoopolitical question is the ground of whose resolution depends our notion of sovereignty. In these pages, by standing in Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze and Esposito, I cover the relationships between biopolitics and zoopolitics investigating to what extent any post-humanist consideration (Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sloterdijk) must pass first by a zoopolitical consideration.
