This article concisely presents the concept of camp and how this was an absolute
biopolitical space. The relationship between the permanent state of exception (the camp)
and biopolitics was presented from the work of Giorgio Agamben. It was concluded that
the camp was an absolute biopolitical space, because in this space, the biopolitics caesuras
didn’t affect the politicized zoé, but upon the bare life that couldn’t be anymore included
in the legal system. Understanding the structure of the camp, we can strengthen our fight
against the existing spaces of exception in the democracies.
