BALIBAR, Étiene. From Violence as Anti-Politics to Politics as Anti-Violence.Traducido porJuan David Almeyda Sarmiento. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.63, pp.355-368. Epub 14-Abr-2022. ISSN 0120-1263. https://doi.org/10.18566/escr.v29n63.a10.
This article discusses violence in its intrinsic relationship to politics. This conjunction of politics and violence is not just a special feature of our historical experience; rather it can never be separated from it, albeit with distinct forms and to different degrees. Starting from situations embodying extreme violence, or cruelty, and contrasting them with a politics of civility, this article argues that if we want to define the conditions and the goals of politics, it is not enough to just be mindful of violence, or to see it as a central problem for politics. What we need is a new foundation for politics, arising from the consideration of extreme violence. Extreme violence, therefore, is not one question among others for politics; it is the question where the possibility or impossibility of politics is at stake.
