“…In the same manner, Ajana (2013) points out that Agamben's limited and debatable framework on the state of exception, bare life, and homo sacer has been subject to much debate, especially in its application to refugees and forced migrants. More recently, Agamben has argued that the state of exception and governmental powers could become regularized if governments are allowed to implement COVID-19 protocols (Dwivedi and Mohan, 2021).…”

Migrant and refugee studies have received much attention grounded in Agamben’s state of exception and homo sacer theory. Much scholarship draws from Agamben’s work and the relationship between the sovereign state and biopolitical subjects in a permanent state of exception. Absent from Agamben’s homo sacer theoretical argument is a discussion on the political influence of undocumented youth. Now more than ever, unaccompanied children have an innocuous ability to transform and influence bidirectional immigration policy. The present research contributes to the literature by repositioning unaccompanied children away from the presupposition of bare life and the state of exception to an active role in the political sphere. This analysis maintains that in the United States, undocumented youth act as nonstate geopolitical actors who influence federal policy and are not necessarily in a complete state of exception or homo sacer an area not fully considered by Agamben.

The Commencement of Jean-Luc Nancy

Jean-Luc Nancy was concerned with commencement at several levels, of several kinds, in several senses, because he could speak of commencement with affirmation, which means with audacity. From the hospital in July 2021 he completed his last essay, which was intended to commence the project of “the other beginning of philosophy” envisaged by him, Shaj Mohan, and Divya Dwivedi, and he titled it “The End of Philosophy and the Task of Thinking.” In and through it are gathered all of Nancy’s critical reflections on destiny, on the antisemitic components of the Heideggerian history of being, on the ends of philosophy that we must reckon with, on origins and archaeophilia, on the an-archique essence of philosophy and democracy—and this means for us, on another sense of commencement than arche, which could allow us to prepare another beginning of philosophy than the Heideggerian one, and to respond to Nancy’s wager “Pourquoi pas en finir?” Nancy has not left us; rather, we are only now commencing with Nancy.
