Agamben some key symbolic figures of modernity or rather postmodern which are brought into a focus of sociality are considered. Because of his non-classical approach originally developing concepts of «waste» by G. Bataille and «inoperative community» by J.-L. Nancy, Agamben succeeds to show the necessity of radical de-ontologization of general clenches of social contemporaneity - «body», «language», «community», as a way of its shared re-reading. Re-reading within the community. The sketch of such a re-reading is proposed in the book. AU - Giorgio Agamben UR - https://sociologica.hse.ru/en/2008-7-2/28122499.html PY - 2008 SP - 47-54 VL - 7
