Infancy and Politics in Giorgio Agamben and Leon Rozitchner

In this paper I intend to compare the way in which Leon Rozitchner and Giorgio Agamben link the problems of childhood and politics in their theories when carrying out an analysis of the modern world. In the first two sections, I propose to recompose separately the link that each one establishes between both concepts. In the case of Agamben, I will focus mainly on the first part of his work Infancy and History, whereas in the case of Rozitchner, the problem will revolve around the notion of mater, whose appearance condenses the Argentine theoretician's interest in the first experiences of human life. In conclusion, I will explain the differences and the points that enable a conceptual dialogue between the two philosophies.
