Technologies of representation: bio/political contra/dictions Hannah Arendt, The life of a metaphor for life

Abstract

The critical field of biopolitics is installed as a form of research that aims to cover the relationship and political life. However, the same biopolitical issues seem to always turn to take the advanced conceptual. The representation of criticism that has taken the critique of the work. Any criticism of representation is critical work, as criticism, interpretation, leaving out issues such as the contradiction of work. It's like even though we talk about how to address the issue, more talking to make the form (the formula of form) which leaves out the form itself (the way in shaping the whole formula). The critical aporia aporia then becomes biopolitics. Biopolitics representation proposes a biopolitics of representation, a representation that technology as a first application is running as the operating system. Hannah Arendt's work, from 1958, is presented then as a paradigm of contradiction, of metaphysical oppositions that turn against themselves. What is the political vocation of these competitions?
