Abstract


The article broaches the specificity of Auschwitz tracking down the origins of antijudaism in the matricial structures of the first Christianity. The first aim is to bring into question the relationship between Western Christendom and Judaism. From then on, the plot of exclusion, first, then that of extermination, will be configured. Afterwards, the equivocal stand of Enlightment, the insurmountable conflict between Jewish particularity and assimilation will be discussed, reaching as far as Heidegger, his commitment to nazism and the final solution. In the last section, the concentrationary issue is tackled following some outlines elaborated by Giorgio Agamben, where the narrow relationship between sovereign power, state of exception, biopolitics and logic of the extermination are discussed highlighting their terrible continuity in the present age.
