The paper deals with the analysis of the theme of power in Giorgio Agamben’s philosophy. In The Kingdom and the Glory Agamben interprets Glory as the fundamental apparatus of power languages, an empty center around which the western governamental machine works. The Glory is the transcendental of power, the device by which auctoritas and potestas are articulated. Therefore, Glory is the foundation of modern consensual democracies. In this sense mass-media are modern devices of power glorification. To deconstruct western governamental machine is necessary to show the role of Glory as a practice of legitimateness of power.

Abstract
The paper deals with the analysis of the theme of power in Giorgio Agamben’s philosophy. In The Kingdom and the Glory Agamben interprets Glory as the fundamental apparatus of power languages, an empty center around which the western governamental machine works. The Glory is the transcendental of power, the device by which auctoritas and potestas are articulated. Therefore, Glory is the foundation of modern consensual democracies. In this sense mass-media are modern devices of power glorification. To deconstruct western governamental machine is necessary to show the role of Glory as a practice of legitimateness of power.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
