Sumario:This paper intends to deal with the hypothesis of a phantasmatic political-gestural regime, based on Giorgio Agamben’s theories, and whose foundations would have been detected by Walter Benjamin, in particular in his critique of experience, deauratization and violence. We will start from Jacques Derrida and his literary-political considerations on authority, spectre and mystical foundation; then, from the perspective of negative/positive barbarism, we will take a look at gesture and violence as basilar concepts of the condition of spectral-spectral existence, through texts by Benjamin and Agamben, with brief reconsiderations of the sensible and the reason nowadays thought by Susan Buck-Morss and Jacques Rancière.
