“gewollter Ausnahmezustand” seems to refer only to Nazi politics Explanation: Esta paradoja, que los juristas nazis definieron como un “estado de excepción deseado”, einen gewollten Ausnahmezustand, abre paso a la excepcionalidad convertida en ley, donde la decisión política soberana opera sobre la base de una absoluta indiferencia entre hecho y derecho (Agamben 1998: 214). http://www.diss.fu-berlin.de/2005/5/1.pdf En 1937, les derniers vestiges d'une justice civilisée sont balayés avec l'établissement d'un "état d'urgence voulu" (einen gewollten Ausnahmezustand); ... forum.volkermord.com/viewtopic.php?t=260& view=next&sid=a2db0191ddf5589bfada93ab522a643c - 65k - |

intentionally created state of emergency Explanation: Given your additional context, let's see how Prof. Agamben explains what he means: "Let us look at the case of Nazi Germany. Just after Hitler came to power (or, to be more precise, just after he was offered power) he proclaimed, on February 28, 1933, the Decree for the Protection of the People and the State. This decree suspends all the articles in the Weimar Constitution maintaining individual liberties. Since this decree was never revoked, we can say that the entire Third Reich from a legal point of view was a twelve year-long state of emergency. And in this sense we can define modern totalitarianism as the institution, by way of a state of emergency, of a legal civil war that permits the elimination not only of political adversaries, but whole categories of the population that resist being integrated into the political system. Thus the intentional creation of a permanent state of emergency has become one of the most important measures of contemporary States, democracies included. And furthermore, it is not necessary that a state of emergency be declared in the technical sense of the term." http://www.generation-online.org/p/fpagambenschmitt.htm |
