其他摘要:The pandemic surrounded us with death. Real, imaginary, symbolic, dreamlike, media, daily death. Thinking of death as something close makes us stoic, existentialist, deconstructionist, that is, philosophers. It makes us think of another frequency, in another intensity. Among those urgent attemps that death emerges with a date, that is the death sentence, consecrated by law as "death penalty" and the various ways of living and dying that it suggests. Jacques Derrida's seminar on this topic and the conviction of the Argentine Victor Hugo Saldaño, and his 24-year wait on the "death row" are the premises of this article.
