A LINGUAGEM VIOLENTADA E A MIMESE HUMANA NAS DEMOCRACIAS ESPETACULARES: INTERLOCUÇÕES COM GIORGIO AGAMBEN. (Portuguese)

It is urgent that we deepen our critical analysis of the spectacular drift of current democracies. To contribute to this objective, in this essay we will analyze some aspects of Agamben's research on spectacular democracy. In a second point we will develop an analysis of the language that, in the origin of politics, in ancient Greece, which proposed to create a new model of power based on the conviction of truth, and how this language later slid into instrumental techniques of truth in politics. In a third moment we will present the links of human mimesis with the spectacular drift of language in contemporary democracies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Para contribuir com esse objetivo, no presente ensaio, analisam-se alguns aspectos das pesquisas de Agamben a respeito das democracias espetaculares. Em um segundo ponto, desenvolve-se uma análise acerca da linguagem, que, na origem da política, na Grécia antiga, propunha criar um novo modelo de poder fundamentado no convencimento da verdade, e como, posteriormente, essa linguagem deslizou-se para técnicas instrumentalizadoras da verdade, na política. Em um terceiro momento, apresentarem-se os nexos da mimese humana com a deriva espetacular da linguagem, nas democracias contemporâneas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
