Abstract

Naked labour in this context is one who is without the 'right' and protection of the state which prevents him from resisting the deadly and dehumanizing conditions of work. Paradoxically, resistance to such conditions is the only humanly possible course of action. Such a person as sketched out by Agamben is to be found in a place of detention in the context of the 'war on terror' where an individual who is stripped of political identity and civil rights exists as naked before the law.
