| Résumé: | This article analyzes different positions on the relationship between politics and the experience of time, both those which defend the legitimacy of institutions and those which claim to liquidate them. Recognizing the links between certain theological arguments and certain modalities of time and politics (which are examined using ideas from Paul of Tarsus, Carl Schmitt, Reinhart Koselleck, Giorgio Agamben or Jacob Taubes, among others), the article describes and analyzes three different theses: the one that defends institutions against the erosion of subjectivity in capitalist societies (compensation theory), the one that proposes a mystical anarchism with a messianic profile and, finally, the thesis that argues for the need to accelerate the contradictions of capitalism in order to overcome it and, at the same time, to preserve its conquests (Marxist-Deleuzian accelerationism of Nick Land and his followers). Finally, I vindicate certain experiences that involve and prioritize the body against sense or meaning (or rather, which relate sense or meaning to the body). To do this, I make use of some ideas of Agamben and Hans U. Gumbrecht. |
