The Threshold and the Topos of the Remnant: Giorgio Agamben
Abstract
In this article I will follow Agamben as he conceptualises the space of the threshold. I will do so by investigating Agamben’s reading of Paul in the book Il tempo che resta, with particular attention to hope and love. I will show how Paul’s understanding of hope leads Agamben to propose an experience of life the productivity of which is not based on the possession and conceptualisation of work as norm.
Keywords
