REFUGEES AFTER AGAMBEN: WOMEN, THE LITERATURE OF 'BARE LIFE' AND THE STATE OF EXCEPTION

随着全球行动自由使民族国家的结构过时，阿甘本为建立一个以难民形象为中心的新政治共同体的努力变得越来越有先见之明。阿甘本的模式，即被边缘化的难民将改写世界的政治版图，提出了关于人权的深刻问题，但从根本上排除了妇女的经历。这位博士将展示索尼娅·纳扎里奥、卡米拉·吉布、克莱门汀·瓦玛利亚、伊丽莎白·韦尔和莱曼·古博韦的叙事如何揭示理论的盲点，揭示女性和少数族裔身上的细微差别的例外形式。

As global freedom of movement renders the structures of nation states obsolete, Agamben's bid for a new political community which holds the figure of the refugee at its centre becomes increasingly prescient. Agamben's model, in which the marginalised refugee will rewrite the political landscape of the world, raises profound questions about human rights yet fundamentally excludes women's experiences. This PhD will demonstrate how narratives by Sonia Nazario, Camilla Gibb, Clemantine Wamariya, Elizabeth Weil and Leymah Gbowee shed light upon the blindspots of theory, revealing the nuanced forms of exception enacted upon women and minorities.
