Article (Published version)

Show full item recordAbstract
This article focuses on the notion of the state of
exception, accounting for its legal and political meanings. In discussing Agamben’s analysis of the state of exception, the article
provides an alternative genesis of the state of exception, with a special focus on the role of liberalism, nuclear war, and the sources of
the state of exception that was instituted in the U.S.A. after the terrorist attacks on September 11. The article stresses that the state of
exception should not be described as an “anomic state” that suspends the law, but that the relationships are much more complex,
wherein the legal and non-legal “organically” intertwine. The article ends with an analysis of the neoliberal relationship to the state
of exception.
