| Summary: | In this essay, I examine four books from Roberto Esposito (Communitas, Immunitas, Bios e Third Person) through the axis ‘life – immunity – experience’. The analysis articulates these three issues to two central problems concerning his writings: biopolitics and community. The aim is to discuss aspects from these books that operate relevant reflections about the contemporary politics. Esposito analyzes biopolitics differently from other important researchers who approach the subject, such as Foucault and Agamben, and his original contribution is in articulating it to the problem of immunization. |
