The Contemporary Legal Situation: Girgio Agamben’s Criticism Of The Study Of Biopolitics

Abstract

The discourse on the study of biopolitics is a relatively new study, because in this study for the first time the two methodologies of social science and science were brought together, for that political action in the concept of biopolitics is not only in the configuration of social behavior but can also be viewed objectively in science. This research by discussing the typography of the study of biopolitics from the anthropological perspective of Girgio Agamben. The research method used is normative research with an analytical description approach. Results and discussion that this study of biopolitics has an objective limit of study which is only limited to descriptive human biology and can be seen from a sociological point of view, that this biopolitical theory, according to Agamben, gives rise to a new hypothesis that human political behavior can be intertwined with the configuration of biological scientists. That this biopolitical study is often used in the study of legal science, especially during a virus outbreak situation, because a legal product that regulates the limits of human movement requires an epidemiological and virological approach.
