<b>The ‘roda-viva’ poetry and the unveiling of biopolitics
Abstract
The central idea of current article is to (re)establish a dialogue between poetry and philosophy, (re)connecting them with the existential human condition. It is important to listen to the poetry of the music Roda-viva by Chico Buarque de Holanda and, based on the thought of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, unveil the sense by which current politics has become biopolitics. At the same time, it reworks the thought that the work of art (in this case, the poetry) may emit opinion on our existential condition which is or perhaps has always been engaged in a constant dispute between the power over the life and power of life.
