AGAMBEN’S ‘DISPOSITIVE’ RELIGION
In his essay “What is an Apparatus?” Agamben relates the genealogy of the Foucauldian dispositif of biopower directly to the notion of positivity in Christian theology as highlighted by Hyppolite in a passage from his In- troduction to Hegel’s Philosophy of History. Agamben believes that this ”passage [...] could not have failed to provoke Foucault’s curiosity, because it in a way presages the notion of apparatus”. Agamben then sets up a lengthy genealogy: he first relates the notion of biopolitical dispositif to Hegel’s notion of positive religion and then moves from there to the theological term dispositio. According to Agamben, the Latin dispositio trans- lates the Greek word oikonomia, which in the early centuries of theology designated “the administration and government of human history” by Christ. Agamben thus proposes to take the form in which Christianity was propagated and governed as the archetype of Foucault’s modern dispositif of biopower. (Read more ...)
